Description

 Soldark. A bustling city where dreams come true.

That’s what seamstress Mae Wright hopes, anyway.

But when she moves into her new shop premises, everything goes wrong. She loses all her money while saving her runaway dog, and none of her sewing equipment arrived in transit.

A handsome yet reclusive theater director named Des offers her a job mending costumes, and she can’t help but accept.

Mae enters the backstage life: full of chaotic costume changes, quirky actors, and friends who become like family.

When Des enters the theater into a spring festival contest, Mae must make a decision: follow her daydream of owning her own shop? Or embrace the allure of the night life in theater?

Come tread the boards at the Proserpina Theater and meet a sunshine seamstress and a grumpy theater director in a tale of transformation, gaining confidence, and living life on your own terms. 

Each Seasons of Soldark cozy fantasy novella is a standalone, and they can be read in any order.
