Soon garden gnomes are mysteriously vanishing spells are subtly wilting prize-winning petunias and what started as polite neighborly passive-aggression quickly escalates into a hilarious low-stakes war of wits weeds and minor magical mayhem. </p><p>Can a retired Dark Lord and his former nemesis truly find peace in the same pastoral village? Or will a shared love of baking competitions (and a surprisingly persistent pest problem) force them into an uneasy utterly ridiculous alliance?\n\nPrepare for a charming laugh-out-loud adventure where the greatest battle might just be over the last strawberry scone.</p>
