Publisher's Summary

A heartwarming and humorous blend of fantasy, romance, and mystery featuring a witch with domestic powers and the royal household he serves...dinner.

When Finlay Ashowan joins the staff of the King and Queen of Daxaria, he’s an enigma. No one knows where he comes from or how he came to be where he is, which suits Fin just fine. He’s satisfied simply serving as the royal cook, keeping nosy passersby out of his kitchen, and concocting some truly uncanny meals.

But Fin’s secret identity doesn’t stay hidden for long. After all, it’s not every day a house witch and his kitten familiar, Kraken, take to meddling in imperial affairs. As his powers are gradually discovered by the court, Fin finds himself involved in a slew of intrigues: going head-to-head with knights with less-than-chivalrous intentions, helping to protect the pregnant queen, fending off the ire of the royal mage, and uncovering a spy in the castle. And that’s only the beginning—because Fin’s past is catching up with him just as his love life is getting complicated . . .

Filled with fascinating characters, courtly intrigue, political machinations, delicious cuisines, cuddly companions, magical hijinks, and will-they-won’t-they romance, The House Witch is the first in a captivating new series, guaranteed to satisfy the tastes of any listener.

The first volume of the hit romantic-fantasy series—with more than a million views on Royal Road!

Please Let There Be More…

Loved it.

The humour had me laughing. The narrator was excellent. Every character was easily recognisable and very realistic. At one stage I caught myself thinking that I’d love to meet Rhys to see if he is as sexy as he sounds. Then I remembered he was a fictional character ☹️.

I really want to see what happens next.

loved it

wonderful, loved it all......... This would make an
amazing series. I laughed out loud many times and still do recalling the 'slap, slap, slap' incident. I hope the Author is writing many more.
Mathew Wolf did a brilliant job narrating these books, I'll be looking for more that he has done. (unfortunately my expectations of narrators has now trippled)

Chicken soup for the soul

Hilarious, warm, engaging and thoroughly excellent. I laughed out loud more times than I could count, but was also swept along by the excellent and original story. A fantastic twist on the usual fantasy tropes, well worth listening to! Matthew Wolf’s performance is warm, funny and altogether excellent. He paints the characters with so much heart and individuality. Great work! Highly recommended if you’re looking for a sweet, engaging read.

loved it.

An excellent narrator who made easy listening of a very sweet, well written story. I'm glad the next installment is available as part one ended quite abruptly.
