Field Guide for the Formerly Villainous

About this event

A cozy fantasy about healing, redemption & the subtle magic of simple living. Perfect for fans of Can't Spell Treason Without Tea & The Spellshop. Welcome home, weary traveler. When Oaklin Nettlenwood accidentally joined an evil world-ending cult, mind control magic forced them to do unspeakable things. Years later, the realm's heroes have finally saved the day, defeated the villain, and shattered the last remnants of the spell...leaving destruction in their wake. And so, with a spell-damaged memory & whole bushel of trauma, Oaklin escapes to a small farm on the edge of Mossley's Rest and swears an oath: After all the things they were forced to do with their magic, they will never use it again. Ever. The no-nonsense ghost granny who lives in Oaklin's house has other ideas. As she coaxes Oaklin out of their shell & back into the world, they find companionship (a grumpy horse & a very good dog), friendship (a local band & magical baker who should just kiss already) & tentative romance (a paladin-librarian who makes Oaklin's heart come alive for the first time in ages.) Magic even seems possible again- though strictly for foraging magical mushrooms & protecting the farm from bugs. Healing comes in gentle waves & Oaklin doesn't have to do it alone. So what does it mean when an inquisitor comes to town to hunt for their cultists just as Oaklin begins to think that maybe they deserve a happy ending after all?
