What to expect
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.
What price would you pay for a quiet cup of tea?
All Reyna wanted was a relaxing cup of her favourite brew. She didn’t expect to be kidnapped and locked in a hidden cell, but she’ll just have to adapt. She’s faced worse before . . . hasn’t she? Yet there’s another, more worrying, problem: Reyna’s cell has been booby-trapped and now
contains a mysterious alchemical circle. But what does a radical alchemist want with her? More importantly, why do they think they can get away with it?
Kianthe and Reyna’s hometown is having its own problems, too. Word of their bookshop, and its celebrity owners, has finally spread – and tourists are flooding into Tawney. As their friends struggle with the sudden influx, Kianthe and Reyna face a bigger conundrum than even rogue
alchemists and a mismanaged kidnapping. Could closing their beloved business be the only way to save their town?
