A storybook village behind the screen

Seaview Haven looks like a village built for cozy mysteries, but its cases are actually scripted entertainment for enchanted viewers. When the stories stop and the town begins to crumble, an intern sent to shut it down finds himself working alongside Winnie Arrowmaker, the author-sleuth at the center of its productions. The setup brings fantasy, humor, and a metafictional premise together: a town’s survival depends on storytelling, while the book distinguishes between stories made for an audience and those people tell themselves. The conflict also gives the scripted mysteries a larger purpose than simply solving cases, without losing sight of the people who live within the fictional setting.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in humorous fantasy and invented magical worlds
  • Readers who enjoy stories about storytellers and the nature of fiction
  • Readers drawn to cozy-mystery settings with a fantastical premise

Book overview

Welcome to Seaview Haven. A delightful village of charming humans, quaint homes - and cozy mysteries! Fortunately, there's silver-haired author-turned-sleuth Winnie Arrowmaker on hand to solve them all.

 

But things aren't exactly as they seem. Seaview Haven is one of the Seelie Court Network's many invented TROPE towns, and the "mysteries" are scripted and streamed for the entertainment of enchanted creatures across the Veil. Or, rather, they were...

 

Winnie has a wicked case of writer's block, moviemaking across the Veil has ground to a halt, and the town is crumbling.

Enter Finch, an SCN intern who might be the worst Unseelie ever. With aid from his reluctant brownie assistant, Finch is assigned to figure out what's gone wrong in Seaview Haven... so he can dismantle it forever. But after landing in town, Finch soon learns that real lives - and real friends - aren't so easily canceled.

 

To keep "The End" from being stamped on Seaview Haven, Winnie and Finch are going to have to tell a Truly Great Tale. Because as they realize, real power lies not in the stories we watch, but in the stories we tell ourselves.
