Bookshops & Bonedust

‘Glorious’ – Ben Aaronovitch, author of the Rivers of London series Set in the cosy fantasy world of BookTok sensation Legends & Lattes, Travis Baldree's Bookshops & Bonedust is a heartwarming story about the power of good bookshops, great friends and the unexpected choices along the way. First loves. Second-hand books. Epic adventures. Viv’s career with the renowned mercenary company Rackam’s Ravens isn’t going as planned. Wounded during the hunt for a powerful necromancer, she’s packed off against her will to recuperate in the sleepy beach town of Murk – so far from the action that she worries she’ll never be able to return to it. What’s a thwarted soldier of fortune to do? Spending her hours at a struggling bookshop in the company of its foul-mouthed proprietor is the last thing Viv would have predicted. Even though it may be exactly what she needs. Still, adventure isn’t far away. A suspicious traveller in grey, a gnome with a chip on her shoulder, a summer fling and an improbable number of skeletons prove Murk to be more eventful than Viv could have ever expected. Sometimes, right things happen at the wrong time. Sometimes, what we need isn’t what we seek. And sometimes, we find ourselves in the stories we experience together . . . ‘Enchanting . . . Books, baked goods, and necromancy – what more could you possibly want in a story?’ – Genevieve Gornichec, author of The Witch's Heart Readers love Bookshops & Bonedust! ‘Reading this book feels like being wrapped up in a soft blanket’ ‘This was really just what I needed’ ‘It feeds the soul and warms the heart’ ‘I think I actually might love this more than Legends & Lattes’ ‘This was all I had hoped for, and more’ Perfect for fans of TJ Klune, Katherine Addison and T. Kingfisher. From the Hugo Award-winning author, Travis Baldree. The cosy adventures continue in Brigands & Breadknives.
