Step into the whimsical world of the Inscrutable Paris Beaufont series, where a feisty halfling fairy godmother-in-training battles her aversion to romance to save true love! Written by Sarah Noffke and Michael Anderle, this urban fantasy saga blends humor, heart, and magical adventures, following Paris Beaufont as she transforms Happily Ever After College and the world beyond.
Paris, a fairy with demon blood and a Beaufont legacy, isn’t your typical fairy godmother. Love songs give her hives, and romantic comedies make her queasy. Yet, when criminal antics land her at fairy godmother college, she must master the art of matchmaking or face jail time. With her quirky squirrel sidekick, Faraday, and a cast of colorful characters, Paris’s journey is a delightful mix of action, wit, and unexpected heroism.
How Inscrutable Paris Beaufont Began
The Inscrutable Paris Beaufont series sprang from the creative minds of Sarah Noffke, a USA Today Best-Selling Author, and Michael Anderle, known for his Kurtherian Gambit series. Building on their successful Beaufont universe, which includes Liv and Sophia Beaufont’s tales, they introduced Paris in 2021 to explore a fresh angle: a reluctant hero tasked with reviving love in a modern magical world. Noffke’s love for whimsical storytelling and Anderle’s knack for fast-paced fantasy crafted a series that’s both a standalone adventure and a nod to Beaufont fans.
The Heart of Inscrutable Paris Beaufont
The series spans nine books, each weaving Paris’s growth from skeptic to savior. The Unexplainable Fairy Godmother (2021) kicks off with Paris’s forced enrollment at Happily Ever After College, where she grapples with romance and uncovers her mysterious heritage. The Mysterious Lost Child (2021) dives deeper into her Beaufont lineage, tackling dwindling global love. Unsuspecting Trouble (2021) pits Paris against the villainous Deathly Shadow while solving a campus love crisis. The finale, The Unexpected Peacekeeper (2021), sees Paris end centuries-long fairy wars, cementing her legacy.
Themes of love, self-discovery, and defying expectations shine through. Paris’s aversion to romance juxtaposes her mission to foster it, creating humorous yet heartfelt moments. The modern magical setting—think fairy godmothers with smartphones—grounds the fantasy in relatable stakes. Noffke and Anderle’s light, conversational style, paired with complex characters like Faraday and King Rudolf, keeps readers hooked. The series balances action with emotional depth, exploring how love drives change, both personally and globally.
