The Faraway Inn: Sprayed Edge Edition by Sarah Beth Durst (Hardback)

Limited luxe first edition features gorgeous sprayed edges. The perfect cosy fantasy for YA readers, from the author of The Spellshop.

Calisa expects a peaceful summer helping at her great-aunt’s bed and breakfast. Instead, she finds a place falling apart, far from the warm and welcoming retreat she imagined.

Auntie Zee is fiercely protective of the inn, stubborn and unwilling to accept help, even as the building shows clear signs of neglect. Determined to prove she belongs, Calisa throws herself into restoring the property, taking on repairs and daily tasks to bring it back to life.

She doesn’t do it alone. With help from the groundskeeper’s son, she begins to make progress, and what starts as a simple plan soon turns into something more meaningful.

But as the days pass, Calisa starts to notice things she can’t explain. The inn feels different. The guests behave in unusual ways. There’s a sense that something hidden lingers just beneath the surface.

The longer she stays, the clearer it becomes—this is no ordinary bed and breakfast. And if Calisa wants to truly understand the place, she’ll have to uncover the secrets it’s been keeping.
