For eight years, Linnea Linn Marrowdale has kept a lantern burning on the porch of the Wandering Table, a timber inn carried across the Hollowlands on the back of a gentle giant named Umber. Abandoned on its doorstep as a child, and later left waiting by a man who never answered her, Linn has built her life around feeding everyone else and asking for nothing in return.

Then, on a stormy night, a guarded stranger collapses at her door. Corvin Ashdell, a disgraced former courier, is quickly bound by an old hearth oath to remain within earshot of the inn for one full turn of the seasons. What Linn does not know is that he did not arrive by chance. He has spent years searching for her, carrying an undelivered letter and a lie that once shaped her entire life.

As the inn wanders from spring meadows to winter mountain passes, Linn's found family nudges the two toward each other: a sharp-eyed retired witch, a curious young apprentice, a gentle giant who cooks, and a steward who speaks only over warm tea. But the hearth itself may be choosing for them, and an old secret lies buried in the snows of Candlemere Pass. When the truth finally surfaces, Linn must decide whether Corvin's kindness is love or penance, and whether her own heart can be trusted at all.

Warm, whimsical, and slow-burning, A Table for the Wandering is a cozy fantasy romance about belonging, forgiveness, and the courage it takes to receive. It asks what happens when the one who always gives finally lets herself be held, and what it means to be chosen by someone who is free to leave.
