QUILL

Adult Cozy Romantasy

Poppy the Quilldresser is more than happy to spend her days enchanting quills and collecting molted feathers. Her most sought-after quill is that of the Noxpenna indicum, a critically endangered bird. Quills made from Nox feathers can be enchanted to bring back a departed loved one for one final conversation. Poppy is fiercely protective of the seven remaining Noxes that roam the countryside of Altheia.When Poppy's elderly friend Pol passes away, his adult son Ash moves in next door to take over his father's forge and anvil. Angry with Ash for abandoning Pol in his final months of life, Poppy rebukes Ash's arrival and the cascade of unwelcome flashbacks he brings with him. But, caring for the dwindling population of Noxes proves too great a task for Poppy to handle alone, and she is forced to ask for Ash's help. She quickly comes to realize that his patience and honesty might be the antidotes for her centuries-old trauma.
