An ancient witch explores the thrills – and perils – of online dating with hilarity and heart in this charming novel, perfect for fans of cosy fantasy and witchy romance. 

Limited copies with sprayed edges available!

Meet Thorn Scarhart: a thirty-nine-year-old witch who’s having trouble finding love in the 17th century. Despite the local matchmaker’s efforts and Thorn’s arsenal of powerful love potions, she has yet to fall in love, and she fears she may have missed her chance.

But when one of her potions misfires spectacularly, Thorn is hurled 350 years into the future, landing in a bustling city where her once-isolated cottage is now a historical museum. While this unexpected leap through time is daunting, modern life does have its perks: indoor plumbing, electric kettles and, most intriguing of all, online dating.

With the help of the museum’s curator – and her charming veterinarian brother – Thorn dives headfirst into the 21st-century dating scene. And as she searches for romance, she just might find herself along the way.

About Amplify Bookstore

An anti-racist social enterprise bookstore specialising in BIPOC books.

Only about 11% of books published are by BIPOC authors — so unless you specifically seek out books by BIPOC authors, you aren't likely to find very many of them organically. At Amplify, BIPOC authors are highlighted and celebrated. Here, they don't have to fight to be seen, and you don't have to fight to find them.

We hope that in our shop, you can discover a new favourite read, find stories that speak uniquely to you, learn about a culture outside your own (or more about your own histories), and gain a better understanding of the systems that connect us all.

I loved how inclusive this space was, there were dyslexia friendly books and a space for books about queer love, a bit of something for everyone.
