Juniper and Hadley have a good thing going in Larkspur, spending their respective days apprenticing at a little bakery and performing at the local inn. But when a stranger makes an unusual order at the bakery, the two friends (and Hadley’s pet snake, Fern) set out on a journey to forage the magical mushrooms needed to make the requested galette pastries.
Along the way, Juniper and Hadley stumble across a mystery too compelling to ignore: Something has been coming out of the woods at night and eating the local farmers' crops, leaving only a trail of glowy goo behind. Intent on finally going on an adventure that could fuel their bardic craft, Hadley tows Juniper into the woods to investigate.
What started as a simple errand to pick mushrooms soon turns into a thrilling quest to save some furry new friends—and their caretaker, a softspoken little fey named Thistle—who are in danger of losing their home.

Hello Fellow Readers,
This was such a short, heartwarming graphic novel filled with fun adventure. I really love the diverse cast of characters and the amazingly colorful artwork. This cozy little story is perfect for curling up with a warm drink on a gloomy day. Haught really does know how to create loveable characters even in a short story. Juniper is so sweet, while Hadley is adventurous. Both are well suited for each other.
Overall a cozy fantasy perfect for those who want to get into the genre.
