Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Talia likes her magic small.A fire lit without flint. A broom sweeping on its own. A little warmth against the cold. Nothing grand. Nothing dangerous. And, most importantly, nothing anyone needs to know about.She likes her life the same way: quiet, controlled, and entirely her own.Then a homeless boy follows her home.Ren is thin, stubborn, far too curious, and determined to make himself useful. Talia agrees to let him stay for one night.One night becomes another.Then another.Soon there are shared meals and reading lessons. A bed that wasn't there before. A broken wooden bird repaired with a little magic. And a boy who is beginning to look suspiciously less like a stray and more like family.But Ren has a past he doesn't like talking about.And when that past threatens the quiet life growing inside Talia's cottage, the woman who has spent years keeping her magic small may finally have a reason to stop.Some magic is meant to make life easier. Some magic is meant to protect what matters.The Stray is a warm, character-driven cozy fantasy about found family, a reluctant guardian, protective magic, and the unexpected ways two lonely people can become a family.
