A Tales of Valdaes Standalone Novel Set 200 Years Before Mosswood Apothecary
A grandmother's old recipes. A city on the hunt for magic. And bread that makes things better.
Erik never expected his grandmother's old baking secrets to change anything beyond keeping his neighbors fed. Working quietly in Master Garrick's shop, he uses hints of magic to stretch meager supplies, ever since the city's tension with refugees worsened. It's nothing grand, just a few prayers and simple etchings, but it's enough to ease hunger in Rosen's struggling harbor district.
When a licensed mage appears at the bakery door, Erik fears his careful balance is crumbling. But as word spreads about this miracle bread, he discovers something unexpected: a community beginning to form around his kitchen table. From Master Garrick's gruff protectiveness to young Theo's eager friendship, Erik finds himself building the very thing he thought he'd lost-a place to belong.
The old ways his grandmother taught him are stirring something deeper than simple heating sigils, and Erik must decide how much of himself he's willing to share. Because sometimes the most powerful magic isn't about changing the world-it's about feeding the people who matter, one loaf at a time.
The Alchemist Baker of Rosen is a cozy fantasy novel about food, community, and magic. It is set in the world of Mosswood Apothecary, but takes place two hundred years earlier and can be read entirely on its own.
This story focuses on found family, cultural tradition, and small acts of care in difficult times. Magic here is practical, intimate, and rooted in daily work rather than spectacle. The tone is gentle and character-driven, with queer representation and a slow-building sense of connection rather than high stakes or epic battles.
Perfect for readers who enjoy cozy fantasy, magical baking, low-violence stories, and emotionally grounded worldbuilding.
