About this ebook

'Funny, unexpected and touching' - Ben Aaronovitch, bestselling author of Rivers of London

Return to the cosy fantasy world of the No. 1 New York Times bestselling Legends & Lattes series with Brigands & Breadknives by Travis Baldree, a freshly baked adventure featuring fan-favorite, foul-mouthed bookseller Fern.


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 night sees the rattkin waking far from home in the company of a legendary warrior, 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 nothing seems inevitable . . .

I loved the previous two books in this series, but this one really spoke to me. Richer world building, more engaging storytelling and some central, more intricate themes that I found emotionally resonant. A more adult book that I won't soon forget. I think the psychotic chicken could have gotten more page time though 😁

If you've read the Paladin books by T. Kingfisher and enjoyed the plots and storylines and level of cosy fantasy you'll enjoy this third outing! Really loved delving into the Territories a bit more and was a nice change of pace to see the world from Fern's view
