Publisher's Synopsis
A cozy mystery with a supernatural twist, where every teacup tells a secret.
Elara runs The Steeped Leaf, a quiet tea shop in the heart of Austin, Texas-part sanctuary, part secret haven. But when a sudden, inexplicable ability to read tea leaves reveals glimpses into her customers' deepest truths, her tranquil world turns upside down.
What begins as an innocent gift becomes a powerful-and dangerous-burden. Whispers of lost loves, hidden betrayals, and dark secrets emerge from the tea leaves. But one recurring symbol-a raven feather-haunts her visions, linking strangers, friends, and even her own family in a tangled web of ancient knowledge and unseen forces.
As her readings grow more vivid, and a mysterious stranger pushes her further down a path she never asked to walk, Elara finds herself at the center of a mystery that spans generations. The line between insight and intrusion blurs, and every cup she pours may unveil more than she's ready to see.
Perfect for fans of Alice Hoffman, Sarah Addison Allen, and cozy magical realism, Elara's Tea Leaves is a captivating tale of intuition, legacy, and the secrets steeped in every heart.
