📖☕ A mage and a bodyguard want to open a cosy bookshop. They will discover a world of adventure . . . ☕📖
Brimming with magic, sapphic romance and plenty of tea, this is a heart-warming journey for fans of Travis Baldree's Legends & Lattes and TJ Klune. ✨
Reyna and Kianthe dream of opening a friendly book shop together, serving the very best tea and cakes. Worn wooden floors, plants on every table, firelight drifting between the rafters – all complemented by love and good company. But Reyna is an elite bodyguard to a vengeful queen, and Kianthe is the most powerful mage in existence.
Leaving their lives behind seems . . . impossible. Yet they flee to Tawney, a town nestled in the icy peaks of dragon country. There, they open the bookstore they'd always wanted.
What follows is a tale of mishaps, mysteries, dragons, and a murderous queen throwing the realm’s biggest temper tantrum. Through it, these two women will discover what they mean to each other – and their world.
Can’t Spell Treason Without Tea by Rebecca Thorne is a gorgeous treat of a book, filled with cosy adventure, sapphic romance and good feelings. The series continues with A Pirate's Life for Tea.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
A queen's guard and an all-powerful mage run away together in this fun and fluffy fantasy romance, originally self-published in 2022, from Thorne (The Secrets of Star Whales). When the stress of decades serving the violent and cruel Queen Tilaine becomes too much, Reyna finally follows her dream of fleeing the capital to open a tea shop with her secret girlfriend Kianthe, also known as the Arcandor, Mage of Ages. They settle in Tawney, a small but welcoming town in contested territory, and open their store, but are soon beset by visits from the Queen's agents, mysterious dragon attacks, and tension from their own relationship anxieties. The pair must face their fears and rely on the help and wisdom of new friends to preserve the peace of their new life together. The jumbled mix of magical, historical, and contemporary worldbuilding elements can sometimes hamper immersion, but Kianthe and Reyna's relationship, along with Thorne's frank and sensitive depictions of anxiety, lends a grounding depth and richness. Readers of Travis Baldree and TJ Klune will feel right at home with this cozy sapphic romantasy.
