Description
For readers craving second chances, cozy shops, dragon friends, found family, low-stakes magic, small town charm, slow-burn romance, and chocolate solving most problems in life.
A knight hangs up her sword. A sassy dragon steps behind the counter and will not stop taste-testing. And the kingdom is about to be undone by a box of bonbons.
Dassia Temperton has a secret, well, not a secret so much as a bold, ongoing misunderstanding that she refuses to correct in the kingdom. For years, she's been a woman disguised as a knight... because honestly, have you seen how they get treated? Hot meals. Personal space. Significantly fewer marriage proposals from balding merchants.
Dassia has been living in borrowed armor and even more borrowed confidence, dodging questions and keeping her feelings locked up tighter than a royal vault. But when her captain sends her on a quest to slay a dragon, Dassia meets Etchling: a chocolate-obsessed dragon with a flair for the dramatic and zero interest in being slain.
What starts as survival becomes something unexpected: a friendship, a business partnership, and a cozy chocolate shop in a village where nobody asks too many questions.
Etchling has demands (snacks), opinions (many), and a talent for poking directly at Dassia's emotional armor. Add a charming bookshop mage who has the nerve to see right through her, and Dassia's defenses begin to melt.
But some meltdowns are how hearts grow softer, especially when chocolate is involved.
A heartwarming and humorous cozy fantasy about found family, second chances, and discovering that the bravest thing you can do is let yourself be loved without your armor.
For fans of Legends & Lattes and The Spellshop and Assistant to the Villain
