Synopsis

“The sapphic romance is brought to the forefront through Jessica Threet’s emotional depth and compelling lilt.”—Booklist

In the tradition of Legends & Lattes, comes a cozy fantasy steeped in sapphic romance about one of the Queen’s private guards and a powerful mage who want to open a bookshop and live happily ever after…if only the world would let them.

All Reyna and Kianthe want is to open a bookshop that serves tea. Worn wooden floors, plants on every table, firelight drifting between the rafters… all complemented by love and good company. Thing is, Reyna works as one of the Queen’s private guards, and Kianthe is the most powerful mage in existence. Leaving their lives isn’t so easy.

But after an assassin takes Reyna hostage, she decides she’s thoroughly done risking her life for a self-centered queen. Meanwhile, Kianthe has been waiting for a chance to flee responsibility–all the better that her girlfriend is on board. Together, they settle in Tawney, a town nestled in the icy tundra near dragon country, and open the shop of their dreams.

What follows is a cozy tale of mishaps, mysteries, and a murderous queen throwing the realm’s biggest temper tantrum. In a story brimming with hurt/comfort and quiet fireside conversations, these two women will discover just what they mean to each other… and the world.

A Macmillan Audio production from Bramble Books.

Goodreads review by Sarah on August 17, 2022

Have you ever wanted a strong, pretty lady to hand you a warm blanket and hot cup of tea, then pick up her sword and destroy all your problems? Silly question. Of course you have. Next question: Have you ever read an epic fantasy novel and thought “Man, I love these characters! I wish I could have a w......more

Goodreads review by sparklemaia on January 13, 2023

Booktok oversold this one for me, honestly. It's got a very First Draft of a NaNoWriMo manuscript feel to it, with a lot of darlings that frankly ought to have been killed. Very similar premise to Legends & Lattes, but with a higher stakes plot, a lot of wish-fullfillmenty/fanficcy fluff, unapologet......more

This was in many ways exactly what I was hoping for, but not entirely. A cozy fantasy with an established sapphic romance where a queen's bodyguard and a mage run away together to open a tea and bookshop. Really charming, but with more plot and higher stakes than something like Legends and Lattes (w......more

Goodreads review by Steph ✨ on May 19, 2024

This was so cute. Very reminiscent of Legends and Lattes, albeit the tag line for that is "high fantasy, low stakes" I would say the tagline for this one would be "high fantasy, mid stakes". The cosiness is there for me, but the stakes are definately higher in this one which I do think takes away fro......more

Goodreads review by Ashley on May 23, 2024

I'm so sad rn, but this was so dull. Cozy fantasy should still have emotional stakes. I'm actually writing this review straightly upon finishing because I just want to be done with it (barring my May YouTube wrap-up, but talking is easier than writing). Like many, I have been really, really into thi......more
