What price would you pay for a quiet cup of tea?
The gloriously cosy conclusion to the bestselling Tomes & Tea sapphic fantasy quartet from Sunday Times, USA Today and Indie bestselling author Rebecca Thorne. Perfect for fans of Travis Baldree and T. J. Klune.
Reyna wanted a relaxing cup of her favourite brew. Not to be kidnapped and dropped in a hidden cell. Though she'd faced worse before . . . hadn't she?! Then she discovers her cell has been booby-trapped, and contains a mysterious alchemical circle. What does a radical alchemist want with her? More importantly, how did they think they could get away with it
Kianthe and Reyna's hometown is having problems too. Word of their bookshop, and its celebrity owners, has spread - and tourists are flooding into Tawney. As their friends struggle with the influx, Kianthe and Reyna face heartbreak as well as peril. Could closing their beloved business be the only way to save their town?
