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!

Highly original & most enjoyable

Loved everything. Could not improve on a thing, although wish I could hear the original cat’s voice.

Amazing series

I have loved this series and listened to it over and over. Definitely worth your time and credits!
Amazing work by the author and narrator, can I also say that I loved the original cat voice, it made me smile and quite frankly was purrfect, sad the trolls made you change it.

Thoroughly enjoyable.

There's a bit of swearing not suitable for younger readers but on the whole a very easy listen with a few laugh out loud moments. Found myself grinning while listening and rooting for the characters.

The narrators choice of accents for the cats was…questionable

I really enjoyed the story but the narrator’s choice of accents for the cats made it so difficult to get through those chapters. Would still recommend

Unexpected read that captivated my mind

I thought i would try something different and new as a genre for lighter read and came across this book which seem very well reviewed so too a chance. It strangely resonated with me in a few points from the beginning and was engrossed in it pretty early on experiencing what book readers call “I could not put it down” . The story plot is interesting, well thought , often amusing with a dose of romance. Wonderful…already purchased the second book to see where the story leads.

Thoroughly enjoyed!

Difference to my usual audiobook fare of long epic fantasies like Brandon Sanderson. I bought it on a whim because the first two books were offered in sale together and it’s one of my pet peeves that you can only seem to buy book two in sales.
Very much enjoyed the story. The narrator was fantastic, I felt connected to all the characters. I was invested. I didn’t want to stop listening and go to work. I wanted to stay in the car and keep listening.
Very pleased that I decided to get book two and I’m going to head straight into it.

Story that keeps you wanting more!

Really enjoyable story, great characters, will be getting the second in the series straight away! Although I agree with others about the cats- such a weird choice of accent! It doesn’t distract from the story though.
