Brigands & Breadknives
Return to the fantasy world of the #1 New York Times bestselling Legends & Lattes series with a new 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 and desperate 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 might find the courage to step off the beaten path in order to find her true self.


Cozy Pairings

Kraken is a deep and woodsy fragrance that blends weathered driftwood with rich tobacco and worn leather. Smooth and grounding, this scent carries a subtle saltiness balanced by warm, earthy notes that create a sense of depth and character. The combination feels both rugged and refined, with a softness that lingers in the air. Layered and atmospheric, it feels expansive while remaining warm and inviting.
Why we chose this: Fern wakes from a drunken night far from home in the company of a legendary warrior, a chaos-goblin with a fondness for silverware, and a headache that could fell a small dragon. Kraken carries the weathered, well-traveled depth of a life that has seen a great deal and is ready to see a little more, the scent of driftwood and tobacco and leather worn soft with years of adventure. Light this candle as Fern discovers that fixing your life sometimes requires getting thoroughly lost first, and let the open-water atmosphere fill the room like a road trip that never quite goes where you expected.
