A plant witch and a grumpy alchemist must work together to save their quiet town from a magical plague in Violet Thistlewaite Is Not a Villain Anymore, a cozy fantasy romance about what it means to be a good person.
After a lifetime as the dark sorcerers right-hand, Violet Thistlewaite is determined to start overnot as the fearsome Thornwitch, but as someone kind. Someone better. Someone good. The quaint town of Dragons Rest will be her second chanceshell set down roots, open a flower shop, keep her sentient (mildly homicidal) houseplant in check, and prune dark magic from the twisted boughs of her life.
Violets vibrant bouquets and cheerful enchantments soon charm the welcoming townsfolk, though nothing seems to impress the prickly Nathaniel Marsh, an alchemist sharing her greenhouse. Nathaniel has no time for flowers or fripperyand certainly none for the intriguing witch next door.
When a mysterious blight endangers every living plant in Dragons Rest, Violet and Nathaniel must work together, through their fears, pasts, and growing feelings for one another, to save their community. But Violet cant help but wonder does a former villain truly deserve a happily-ever-after?
