Lockpicks & Lost Things

di Nasra Imran (Autore)

One & Only Stories, 2026

The kingdom's best thief has retired. Now her whole job is giving things back. For twenty years Clem Rook made her living taking things that belonged to other people. Now she keeps the magical Lost & Found on Lantern Street, where the old oak shelves hum when an owner comes near, and a sixty-four-year-old barn owl files the umbrellas by color and disapproves of her on principle. The town council has one condition. Return the office's oldest unclaimed treasure, a sealed brass lantern nobody has opened in forty years, by first snow, or the doors close for good and Clem loses the only home she has ever chosen. The trouble is that the lantern was locked by a master. The captain of the town watch is certain the new keeper is up to something. And the deeper Clem digs, the more the lantern seems to have been waiting for exactly one person: the Magpie, the thief she swore she'd stopped being. Perfect for fans of Legends & Lattes and The Spellshop**.** A warm, funny cozy fantasy about second chances, found family, a very opinionated owl, and the courage to hand back what was never yours. A cozy fantasy with a closed-door, slow-burn romance (no spice): kisses on the page, the door stays closed, no profanity. About 87,000 words. Book 1 of The Lantern Street Lost & Found; a complete story with a happy ending.
