Cozy fantasy rom-com • time travel • fish out of water • online dating • witchy hijinks • found family-ish support
A charming, cozy witchy rom-com where the magic is real—and so is the dating-app chaos. An Ancient Witch’s Guide to Modern Dating follows a 17th-century witch who’s running out of hope (and patience) for love… until a potion backfires and drops her into the modern world, complete with electric kettles, indoor plumbing, and the terrifying thrill of online dating.
The vibe
Thorn Scarhart is a thirty-nine-year-old witch in the 1600s who can brew powerful love potions… but can’t seem to find love for herself. After her sister’s disappearance and her mother’s death, she’s spent years just surviving, and now she worries she’s missed her chance at romance altogether.
Then one potion goes spectacularly wrong and Thorn is hurled 350 years into the future, landing in a bustling city where her once-quiet cottage is now a historical museum. The time jump is overwhelming, but modern life has perks—and Thorn decides if she’s going to be stuck here, she might as well try for the one thing she’s never managed to claim: love. With help from the museum’s new curator (and the curator’s charming veterinarian brother), Thorn dives into 21st-century dating, discovering that finding romance might also mean finding herself.
