ABOUT LEGENDS AND LATTES
"Legends and Lattes" tells the story of Viv, an orc barbarian who retires from a life of adventuring to open the first ever coffee shop in the city of Thune. Retirement does not start smoothly for the battle-weary orc – no one has a clue what coffee is, and rivals of past and present stand in the way of success. Viv will need help to make her dreams a reality. L&L is a gently-paced fantasy novel full of endearing characters and vivid scenery, perfect for readers seeking restoration, connection and warmth.
"Legends and Lattes" was a finalist for the 2022 Goodreads Choice Award for Best Fantasy, the 2023 Nebula Award for Best Novel, and the 2023 Hugo Award for Best Novel.
