I’m thrilled to be helping with the cover reveal of Sharon Lynn Fisher’s next book, and you guys, it’s a gorgeous cover! I started reading Sharon’s books back when I first started blogging so I’ve followed her writing journey over the last thirteen years or so. I always get excited when she has a new book coming out, and Tea & Alchemy sounds so good! First, here’s the story description, followed by the cover.

A tea leaf reader in nineteenth-century England falls in love—and in danger—with a reclusive alchemist in an enthralling historical fantasy by the author of Salt & Broom and Grimm Curiosities.
Cornwall, 1854. The people of Roche have always whispered about the recluse in the black granite tower that looms above the moorland. But one young woman is driven to discover the truth behind the old tales.
Her life overshadowed by family tragedy, Mina Penrose escapes her lonely days by working at The Magpie, a cozy tearoom on the village’s edge. Lately she’s been seeing shapes in the sodden leaves that hint at the future. After one such omen, Mina stumbles upon a murdered man on the heath. Villagers immediately suspect Harker Tregarrick, a living, breathing mystery who never ventures beyond the bounds of his centuries-old estate.
Until the day after the murder, when the handsome and compelling recluse visits The Magpie…leading to a meeting that will change both their fates. Captivated by a man around whom danger and rumors of death swirl, Mina has never felt more alive. Can she uncover Harker’s heartbreaking history—and the truth about the murder—before tragedy strikes again?

I really like this cover, it’s creepy but a bit magical looking as well, and the story sounds very good. I enjoyed Grimm Curiosities so I’d definitely like to read this. I also still have Salt & Broom to read so hopefully I’ll get around to that soon 😀
The cover does have a bit of a creepy vibe for sure, I can’t wait!
Oh this is a stunning cover! I love how above everything is alive and blooming and on the bottom everything is dead and withering. Also love the synopsis and would love to read it. Adding to my wishlist right now!
