Magick in the Margins: Book Club Questions for the Amberlight Valley Trilogy
Stories are more than words on a page—they are doorways. The Amberlight Valley trilogy was written as an invitation into a world of magick, memory, and transformation. Whether you’re reading The Christmas Witch, traveling Lost in Time, or uncovering The Secrets of Starlight Lake, each book holds space for wonder, grief, friendship, and healing. These book club questions are designed to spark meaningful conversation, offer gentle reflection, and stir up that sense of cozy curiosity that Amberlight Valley was built upon.
A Lake Full of Secrets, and a Cover Full of Clues
This book picks up right after Lost in Time and carries the story deeper into friendship, healing, and hidden memory. The Secrets of Starlight Lake is about the truths we bury… and what happens when they rise. There are portals, sparkling aquamarines, an ancient artifact, and a lake that remembers everything.
