Welcome to Kindlebrook—a heavily warded village where dragons nap in courtyards, gossip travels faster than magic, and the shrubbery occasionally bites back. Through Letters from Kindlebrook, you’ll get an inside look at the people, places, and peculiarities of Lark Witwillow’s adopted home… set before, during and perhaps after the events of A Potion Maker’s Guide to Playing Dead.
Think of Letters from Kindlebrook as your invitation into the heart of the Emberaya Archives. These stories are part lore journal, part gossip column, and part cozy fireside chat—offering glimpses into Kindlebrook’s history, its dragons, its gardens (both friendly and not), and the tangle of secrets that make life here so interesting.
Some letters share recipes for potions you probably shouldn’t drink. Others recount the village’s more unusual festivals, minor crimes, and the occasional magical mishap. All of them carry the threads of a larger tale, one that begins with a potion maker playing dead, and ends… well, we’ll get there.
The Magic of Kindlebrook (Quick Snapshot):
What it is:
Magic here is offered, not taken. It’s rooted in memory, grief, and care, and it lingers in the smallest of things—tea leaves, lullabies, the planting of a seed.
What it isn’t:
It’s not inherited, flashy, or free. Every spell, blessing, or bargain leaves a mark, and Kindlebrook never forgets.
