Staff Reviews
Thanks to this story, cozy fantasy is one of my new favorite genres. A wholesome tale with low stakes, this book follows Viv, a retired orc barbarian who has made it her dream to open a coffee shop. Determined to no longer use violence to solve her problems, Viv must learn to adapt to her new lifestyle. For anyone who has ever wondered what happens after your D&D campaign ends, this found family of misfits gives you the best answer possible.

“Legends & Lattes is the perfect low stakes, found family cozy fantasy. Viv, Cal, Tandri, and ESPECIALLY Thimble are such lovable characters. Who doesn’t want a latte from an Orc barista and a hot cinnamon bun from an adorable ratkin?!”

Description
High Fantasy with a double-shot of self-reinvention
Worn out after decades of packing steel and raising hell, Viv the orc barbarian cashes out of the warrior's life with one final score. A forgotten legend, a fabled artifact, and an unreasonable amount of hope lead her to the streets of Thune, where she plans to open the first coffee shop the city has ever seen.
However, her dreams of a fresh start pulling shots instead of swinging swords are hardly a sure bet. Old frenemies and Thune's shady underbelly may just upset her plans. To finally build something that will last, Viv will need some new partners and a different kind of resolve.
A hot cup of fantasy slice-of-life with a dollop of romantic froth.
