BLURB

Fern has weathered the stillness and storms of a bookseller’s life for decades, but now, in the face of crippling ennui, transplants herself to the city of Thune to hang out her shingle beside a long-absent friend’s coffee shop. What could be a better pairing? Surely a charming renovation montage will cure what ails her!

If only things were so simple…

It turns out that fixing your life isn’t a one-time prospect, nor as easy as a change of scenery and a lick of paint.

A drunken and desperate night sees the rattkin waking far from home in the company of a legendary warrior surviving on inertia, an imprisoned chaos-goblin with a fondness for silverware, and an absolutely thumping hangover.

As together they fend off a rogue’s gallery of ne’er-do-wells trying to claim the bounty the goblin represents, Fern may finally reconnect with the person she actually is when there isn’t a job to get in the way.

Back with Viv and Tandri in Thrune and who should arrive but Fern, who seems to be having an existential life crisis!

So what’s one to do when having an internal crisis? Get drunk. Sneak into a wagon to sleep. Wake up in a strange place with people you don’t know. We’ve all been there!!!!

Fern decides to hang out for a bit with Astryx the Legendary Blademistress elf, her captive, Zyll the crazy chaos goblin and a talking sword called Nigel! It ALL goes off and Fern learns a lot about herself and also finds a life companion!

It’s not my favourite of the Legends and Lattes series but Ferns expletives made my life!

‘Fern’s deep well of profanity temporarily ran dry.’
