High fantasy, low stakes - with a double-shot of coffee.
After decades of adventuring, Viv the orc barbarian is finally hanging up her sword for good. Now she sets her sights on a new dream - for she plans to open the first coffee shop in the city of Thune. Even though no one there knows what coffee actually is.
If Viv wants to put the past behind her, she can''t go it alone. And help might arrive from unexpected quarters. Yet old rivals and new stand in the way of success. And Thune''s shady underbelly could make it all too easy for Viv to take up the blade once more.
But the true reward of the uncharted path is the travellers you meet along the way. Whether bound by ancient magic, delicious pastries or a freshly brewed cup, they may become something deeper than Viv ever could have imagined.
Legends & Lattes by Travis Baldree is a cosy, heartwarming slice-of-life fantasy about found families and fresh starts - perfect for fans of TJ Klune, Katherine Addison and T. Kingfisher. -
''Glorious'' - Ben Aaronovitch, author of the Rivers of London series
A standalone cosy fantasy about the power of good bookshops, great friends and the unexpected choices along the way, from the bestselling author of BookTok sensation Legends & Lattes.
First loves. Second-hand books. Epic adventures.
Viv''s career with the renowned mercenary company Rackam''s Ravens isn''t going as planned. Wounded during the hunt for a powerful necromancer, she''s packed off against her will to recuperate in the sleepy beach town of Murk - so far from the action that she worries she''ll never be able to return to it. What''s a thwarted soldier of fortune to do?
Spending her hours at a struggling bookshop in the company of its foul-mouthed proprietor is the last thing Viv would have predicted. Even though it may be exactly what she needs. Still, adventure isn''t far away. A suspicious traveller in grey, a gnome with a chip on her shoulder, a summer fling and an improbable number of skeletons prove Murk to be more eventful than Viv could have ever expected.
Sometimes, right things happen at the wrong time. Sometimes, what we need isn''t what we seek. And sometimes, we find ourselves in the stories we experience together . . .
''A perfectly executed prequel . . . the stakes are higher and the scones are hotter still!'' - Nicholas Eames
