The Heart and the Hawthorn by Laura Coleman (ePUB)

Life isn’t always sunshine and rainbows. Frida has always dreamed of joining the London Extraordinary Zoo, tending to its endangered magical beasts. The zoo’s unicorns and ghost lynxes are awe‑inspiring, but what truly thrills her is the newest addition—a baby dragon. Its enclosure is ready, its meals are prepared, and the staff think they’ve covered every contingency—except the storm that follows the dragon’s arrival. The tempest releases a stunning tree fairy who casts a sleeping spell over the entire zoo, leaving everyone unconscious except Frida. With the zoo under a magical slumber, she faces what seems an impossible rescue, yet Frida knows nothing is truly impossible. Her quest whisks her back through time, where she learns that there are greater things worth protecting than the zoo itself…

A queer love story in the spirit of The Spellshop, The Heart and the Hawthorn celebrates following your heart and giving a voice to every creature.
