Legends & Lattes
Travis Baldree
This is the cosy fantasy novel you never knew you needed - a warrior orc retires and sets up a coffee shop, tangling with the local mafia, falling in love, and selling the very finest baked goods in Thune. Legends & Lattes is an utterly charming and escapist read, set in a rich fantasy world mercifully free of battles and peril. Pairs perfectly with a comfy armchair and a large coffee (hot or iced depending on the season!).
A cosy, heartwarming slice-of-life fantasy about found families and fresh starts, Legends & Lattes is perfect for fans of TJ Klune, Katherine Addison and T. Kingfisher. From the Hugo Award-winning author, Travis Baldree.

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 . . .
