Description

The Crescent Moon Tearoom by Stacy Sivinski is a debut fantasy novel that introduces readers to the Quigley sisters—Anne, Beatrix, and Violet—who run a magical tearoom in early 20th-century Chicago. Gifted with clairvoyance, they read fortunes in tea leaves for their clientele. Their harmonious existence is disrupted when the Council of Witches informs them that the city’s Diviner has lost her powers, setting the sisters on individual paths: Anne’s burgeoning magic, Beatrix’s literary pursuits, and Violet’s fascination with a traveling circus and its charismatic trapeze artist. As a family curse threatens to separate them, the sisters must confront their destinies and the bonds that hold them together.​

Set against a richly imagined historical backdrop, this novel explores themes of sisterhood, self-discovery, and the interplay between fate and free will. Sivinski’s storytelling has been described as “impossibly endearing” by Sarah Penner, author of The Lost Apothecary. The narrative weaves a tale of love, hope, and enduring sisterhood that will resonate with fans of cozy fantasy and magical realism.​
