If you're a fan of quirky characters and found families, fun yet heart-warming stories, very slow burn romance, and a sarcastic talking cat then you will love this urban fantasy series.

At its heart, it's a story about finding your place in the world when you don't fit the magical norm.

I’m Apiya. No, this isn't yet another paranormal romance, and no I’m not a badass magical assassin. I’m just a barber to the supernatural.

My magic? Let's just say it's on the... unique side. Okay, it’s downright weak and weird. It works best at keeping things clean.

I know. I can sense your awe at my power already. And I’m sure you can see why barbering suits me well. Although now that I’ve mastered the art of trimming a weretiger’s regrowth, my biggest challenge is fielding the insults of the shop’s cat.

Because yes, the cat talks. And yes, the cat is sarcastic.

For the longest time, I've been on the outskirts, literally barred from delving too deep into the city's magical underbelly because of my less-than-impressive powers.

That is, until a desperate plea from a pair of forest fae launches me into an adventure I never asked for but secretly yearned for—a chance to prove that even my weird magic can make a difference.

The forest fae need me to help protect their youngling but they won't say what's after them. If it’s big and bad enough to scare the fae, it’s most definitely powerful enough to make a mouthful of me—probably a small mouthful, at that. And now that the fae have come to me, whatever’s after them is also after me.

Faced with daunting magical politics and powerful foe, I've got my work cut out for me.

And my backup? A sarcastic cat. Yeah, I’m in trouble all right.

🔥Grab Touched by Magic now to see if I make it. Oh, and don’t get offended if the cat insults you…🐈‍⬛

Touched by Magic isn't your average urban fantasy. This series celebrates the journey of finding your own strength in a world that often overlooks the unconventional. Follow Apiya as she discovers what she's capable of and carves herself a place in the world that is uniquely hers.

A new series from one of my favourite authors.
A new urban fantasy, with Asian mythological creatures, magic, and monsters. Even in the magical community, prejudice and discrimination run rampant, with many fractions not getting along. Then there are the humans who are destroying the earth, and the magical spaces supernatural beings need to live. What do you do about it? Thats Apiyas ultimate challenge. Touched-by-Magic was a very enjoyable read. It raises difficult issues, but ends with the possibility of a positive future. Of course, having magic helps a lot as well. Cant wait until book two comes out.

If you like Lindsay Buroker, I think youll like Celines writing style as well. Very entertaining, light read.

First exciting volume of a new Asian fantasy
Touched-by-Magic is the first book in Celine Jeanjeans new series The Razors Edge Chronicles. It introduces Apiya, barber to the magical creatures of Panong.
Apiyas barbershop is in a down-at-heel part of the island city of Panong, due south of Hong Kong. She looks like a local, but her London accent gives away her roots. Accompanied by a sarcastic witchs cat, Timothy, she gives a mean shave with a cut-throat razor and she has been Touched by magic. That makes her superior to the Mundanes but her weak powers mean that she is looked down upon by all the Mayaks in magical society. Despite these magical and rather terrifying creatures in the city, we would recognise the cars and motorbikes and could use smart phones or the internet.
Apiya is thrown into the spotlight when she is entrusted with the guardianship of a pari-pari egg. Terrified that it will soon hatch she seeks help from her mentor Mr Sangong and her good friend, Chai, a talented sculptor. She follows Mr Sangongs advice in seeking out Sarroch but this could have been her worst mistake. He appears in the glamour of a handsome man in his 30s but what creature is he really and how does he so easily take over her mind? This vibrant city comes to life at night when Apriya is threatened by vicious vampires and only her faithful dog Hunter tries to save her.
Like Celines previous series The Viper and the Urchin, Touched-by-Magic is character driven, with a heroine you cant help liking and the settings are fantastic but credible. The details of the scene at Luyang Temple are steeped in Eastern mythology and I am so glad there will soon be a second book in The Razors Edge Chronicles.

Hi! I'm Celine

I write different flavours of fantasy with a twist, but always with one uniting thread: people different from the norm figuring out who they are, finding their place in the world, finding love just as they are. 

And my stories are always fun and heartwarming, with a HEA. 

My partner Alex and I run this little business of two. If you have any questions for us, please reach out via the chat, or the contact form above.
