Touch of Fae - Chapter 5: Whispers in the Attic Sleep isn't happening. After learning the truth about her grandmother's hidden connection to magic, Sailene finds herself wide awake at three in the morning, wandering into the attic in search of answers. What she finds instead are journals. Pages filled with family stories, long-buried secrets, pie crust rivalries, mysterious marsh magic, and the love story her grandmother never told. With Buddy acting suspiciously helpful for once, Sailene uncovers a hidden box that changes everything she thought she knew about her family history. A forgotten ring. An old letter. And proof that the strange pull she's been feeling may have started generations before she was born. As the past begins to reveal itself, Sailene discovers that some inheritances are much bigger than a house, a café, or a small-town secret. Some inheritances are magic. ✨ Cozy fantasy
