Flour & Forge

A cozy side-quest fantasy adventure, set in the same fantasy multiverse as the Barnes & Noble Top 100 bestseller The Bartender Between Worlds.

A weary warrior. A restless baker. A magical side quest neither of them asked for, but both might need.

Rudy had hoped that setting up shop in a new town would quiet his restless spirit, but something inside him still longs for more. He’s a quiet baker with a kind heart and an uncanny knack for pastries.

When a hidden portal tucked inside a local pub opens into the dwarven realm of Hybarn, Rudy is pulled from his flour-dusted routine and dropped into a fantastical world filled with dwarves, dragons, and dire wolves.

Before he can make sense of where he is or why, he’s swept up in a mission with a ragtag band of dwarves deep into the mountains. A long-shot effort to find a witch who is rumored to possess a lost magic that might be able to send him home.

Leading the expedition is Tarvo, a dwarven warrior who needs to learn how to relax, but would rather be back on the battlefield than babysitting a human baker in the wilderness.

What begins as an inconvenient detour slowly becomes something more. A healing journey shaped by the comfort of allies and the unexpected magic of fresh bread.

Flour & Forge is perfect for anyone who believes that while a pastry might not save the world, it can help make it a world worth saving.

“It’s The Hobbit meets The Wizard of Oz in this charming, feel-good fantasy adventure.”

A cozy fantasy of found family, a healing journey, and the unexpected magic of fresh bread. Perfect for readers of Legends & Lattes, Can't Spell Treason Without Tea, and The House in the Cerulean Sea.
