Feathers, Hooves, and a Clever Lass

An Enchanting Tale Of Curses, Chaos, And Cleverness

When stealing from a wizard goes magically wrong, the real adventure begins.

Molly thought it would be simple: steal a magical thread from Wulfram the Weaver and disappear before anyone noticed. What she didn't count on was accidentally stumbling into an enchanted forest clearing and getting magically bound to two of the most unlikely companions imaginable.

Meet Corvid, a kleptomaniac crow who "collects" shiny objects with theatrical flair and has strong opinions about proper treasure management. Then there's Gruffy, a hypochondriac goat convinced that everything in the world is trying to contaminate him—and who's usually right about the danger.

Now cursed together until they complete an impossible task, this mismatched trio must infiltrate a giant's lair and steal a powerful ring. But between Corvid's compulsive pilfering, Gruffy's obsessive hygiene concerns, and Molly's growing suspicion that she's in way over her head, their "simple" heist becomes a comedy of errors that will test their patience, their courage, and their unexpected friendship.

From talking doorknobs with attitude problems to carnivorous treasure chests, from riddle-speaking squirrels to a very angry giant with poor dental hygiene, every step of their journey is filled with magical mayhem and laugh-out-loud moments.

But when the quest reveals that the greatest treasure isn't always gold, Molly discovers that sometimes the best heists are the ones that steal your heart.

Perfect for readers who love:

• Humorous fantasy with heart
• Unlikely friendships and found family
• Fairy tale retellings with a twist
• Quick, engaging reads with emotional depth

"The truest treasures are rarely the ones we seek."
