Broomsticks and Bedtime Stories Exclusive Excerpt
Chai Steepwell’s tea shop, The Brewing Spell, was always a place of quiet magic. But tonight, the air practically hummed with anticipation.
"Gather 'round, friends," Chai called, her silver hair floating as if caught in an invisible breeze. “Tonight, I introduce you to my latest creation—Tempus Tea. One sip, and you’ll travel through time for one hour. But choose wisely, for your destination awaits.”
The shop’s regulars, a mix of witches, wizards, and magical mischief-makers, leaned in closer, their eyes widening. Poppy Nightshade, the town's youngest alchemist, was already bouncing on her toes.
"I want to meet Cleopatra!" she exclaimed, grabbing her cup and disappearing into a shimmer of gold.
Soon, the chairs of The Brewing Spell were filled with empty teacups and swirling steam as travelers vanished into time. But something was off. The large clock on the wall, usually a steady keeper of time, began spinning erratically. When the first traveler returned, they weren’t alone. Olivia Inkwell, arms full of scrolls from ancient Alexandria, appeared, accidentally overlapping with Poppy’s spot. The room rippled as different eras collided.
Harmony Harper reappeared conducting an invisible orchestra, while Ezra Dusk’s shadow puppets performed scenes from every historical period imaginable.
As chaos broke loose, Chai’s hair swirled faster, and she muttered, “Oh no... the Fountain of Futures... I didn’t realize!”
In a town like Hollow Grove, even time itself could unravel with just one wrong sip of tea.
Join the magical adventure in Broomsticks and Bedtime Stories, where every cup of tea, every broomstick ride, and every bedtime story leads to a world of enchanting surprises.
