Publisher Description
High fantasy, low stakes – with a double-shot of coffee
After decades of raising hell, Viv the orc barbarian is finally hanging up her sword for good. Now, she sets her sights on a new dream – one that involves pulling more shots than punches. Armed with hope and a hard-earned secret, she plans to open the first coffee shop in Thune.
To build something that will last, Viv needs a new crew. She enlists a gruff hob builder shunned by humans, and a shy baker whose cinnamon rolls are to die for. Then there’s Tandri, a charming succubus who’s determined not to let anyone assume anything about her.
But Thune has a shady underbelly that keeps goading Viv to take up her sword once more. New enemies threaten her beloved coffee shop and ragtag team. And Viv’s adventuring past isn’t so eager to leave her behind – or the fabled piece of loot she took with her.
Legends & Lattes by Travis Baldree is a cosy, heart-warming slice-of-life fantasy about found families and fresh starts – perfect for fans of TJ Klune, Katherine Addison and T. Kingfisher.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Get ready for a fantasy novel that lets you chill, without an epic adventure getting in the way. As an orc barbarian, Viv is no stranger to warrior life—and she’s done with it. All she wants is to hang up her sword and open something called…a café. Of course, nobody in the town of Thune has even heard of coffee, so she’ll need help, but that’s what makes Legends and Lattes so delightful. This is a book about characters working together, caring about each other and even (gasp) apologising when they hurt each other’s feelings. We fell in love with Thimble the ratkin, Tandri the succubus, and Cal the hob, who become Viv’s surrogate family and partners in her heartfelt quest. Pour yourself your favourite drink and cosy up with this sweet, slice-of-life fantasy.
