Willow Creek & the Quiet War

<p><strong>Open magic brings visitors-and regulators.</strong></p><p><strong>When the regional coven rolls into Willow Creek with support Aunt Patricia is handed glossy pamphlets and a stack of forms. Public permits. Performance licenses. Approved thresholds. It all sounds reasonable... until the fine print reveals a hush clause that would turn their town into a training outpost and put the Holloways under friendly surveillance.</strong></p><p><strong>With Grandma's grimoire the Holloway Family's practical backbone and help from a surprisingly helpful Mr. Blackwood Patricia chose the same strategy that saved them once: small and good. Tea carts at hearings. Lantern walks without a spectacle. Safety plans that outshine politics. As the Quiet War tightens-the pleasant smile of control-the girls uncover a hidden binding braided into the coven's best practices.</strong></p><p><strong>To protect Willow Creek they'll have to unbind a policy woven like a spell rally their neighbors and write a new playbook: transparent consent-first beautifully boring. Because magic belongs to people-and this town has already chosen welcome.</strong></p><p><strong>Cozy romantic and fiercely gentle Willow Creek & the Quiet War is about boundaries community care and the courage to say no-politely and persistently.</strong></p>
