When an injury throws a young battle-hungry orc off her chosen path she may find that what we
need isn't always what we seek. Set in the world of New York Times bestselling Legends &
Lattes Travis Baldree's Bookshops & Bonedust takes us on a journey of high fantasy first
loves and second-hand books. Viv's career with the notorious mercenary company Rackam's
Ravens isn't going as planned. Wounded during the hunt for a powerful necromancer she's
packed off against her will to recuperate in the sleepy beach town of Murk-so far from the
action that she worries she'll never be able to return to it. What's a thwarted soldier of
fortune to do? Spending her hours at a beleaguered bookshop in the company of its foul-mouthed
proprietor is the last thing Viv would have predicted but it may be both exactly what she
needs and the seed of changes she couldn't possibly imagine. Still adventure isn't all that
far away. A suspicious traveler in gray a gnome with a chip on her shoulder a summer fling
and an improbable number of skeletons prove Murk to be more eventful than Viv could have ever
expected. "Take a break from epic battles and saving the world. This is a low-stakes fantasy
that delivers exactly what's advertised: a wholesome cozy novel that feels like a warm hug.
This is my new comfort read."-Genevieve Gornichec author of The Witch's Heart on Legends &
