An Instant #1 New York Times, USA Today, and Indie Bestseller, this book is also a Barnes & Noble Best Fantasy Book of 2023 and an Amazon Best Science Fiction and Fantasy Book of 2023. When an injury derails a young, battle-hungry orc's ambitions, she discovers that what we truly need isn't always what we seek. Set in the world of Legends & Lattes, the story follows Viv, whose career with the mercenary company Rackam's Ravens takes an unexpected turn after she's wounded while pursuing a powerful necromancer. Sent to recuperate in the quiet beach town of Murk, far from the action she craves, Viv finds herself in a beleaguered bookshop run by a foul-mouthed proprietor. This unlikely setting may provide the solace she needs and spark changes she never anticipated. Yet, adventure lurks nearby, with a suspicious traveler in gray, a gnome with a chip on her shoulder, a summer fling, and an unexpected number of skeletons making Murk far more eventful than Viv could have imagined. “Take a break from epic battles and saving the world. This is a low-stakes fantasy that delivers exactly what's advertised: a wholesome, cozy novel that feels like a warm hug. This is my new comfort read.”—Genevieve Gornichec.
