The Found Things series by Paula Brackston is a four-book fantasy series running from 2018 to 2021. It opens with The Little Shop of Found Things, which introduces the setting and central premise, then moves through Secrets of the Chocolate House (2019), The Garden of Promises and Lies (2020), and City of Time and Magic (2021).
The titles suggest a world where the past and present are closely connected — chocolate houses, gardens, found objects, and magic woven through familiar-sounding historical settings. Each book in the series builds on the characters and mysteries introduced in the one before it, making publication order the right way to read them.
The series wraps up with City of Time and Magic in 2021, the fourth and final book. Readers who enjoy historical fantasy with a magical edge will find the progression from The Little Shop of Found Things through to the final entry follows a consistent arc across all four books.
