Tomes & Tea

Now with beautiful jade sprayed edges and brand-new original art!
In the tradition of Legends & Lattes, comes a cozy fantasy steeped in sapphic romance about one of the Queen’s private guards and a powerful mage who want to open a bookshop and live happily ever after…if only the world would let them.
All Reyna and Kianthe want is to open a bookshop that serves tea. Worn wooden floors, plants on every table, firelight drifting between the rafters… all complemented by love and good company. Thing is, Reyna works as one of the Queen’s private guards, and Kianthe is the most powerful mage in existence. Leaving their lives isn’t so easy.
But after an assassin takes Reyna hostage, she decides she’s thoroughly done risking her life for a self-centered queen. Meanwhile, Kianthe has been waiting for a chance to flee responsibility–all the better that her girlfriend is on board. Together, they settle in Tawney, a town nestled in the icy tundra near dragon country, and open the shop of their dreams.
What follows is a cozy tale of mishaps, mysteries, and a murderous queen throwing the realm’s biggest temper tantrum. In a story brimming with hurt/comfort and quiet fireside conversations, these two women will discover just what they mean to each other… and the world.
“Readers of Travis Baldree and TJ Klune will feel right at home with this cozy sapphic romantasy.” —Publishers Weekly
“Like the tea they serve and the company they keep, this is a read to soothe and comfort.” —Library Journal
“Can’t Spell Treason without Tea might best be described by quoting the grandfather from cult classic The Princess Bride, since the book does contain ‘fighting, torture, revenge . . .monsters, chases, escapes, true love, miracles’.” —Booklist
