Can't Spell Treason Without Tea

All Reyna and Kianthe want is to open a bookshop that serves tea. Worn wooden floors, plants on every table, firelight drifting between the rafters… all complemented by love and good company. Thing is, Reyna works as one of the Queen’s private guards, and Kianthe is the most powerful mage in existence. Leaving their lives isn’t so easy.

But after an assassin takes Reyna hostage, she decides she’s thoroughly done risking her life for a self-centered queen. Meanwhile, Kianthe has been waiting for a chance to flee responsibility–all the better that her girlfriend is on board. Together, they settle in Tawney, a town nestled in the icy tundra near dragon country, and open the shop of their dreams.

What follows is a cozy tale of mishaps, mysteries, and a murderous queen throwing the realm’s biggest temper tantrum. In a story brimming with hurt/comfort and quiet fireside conversations, these two women will discover just what they mean to each other… and the world.

Cozy Pairings

Each pairing is chosen to create a cozy moment where scent, story, and craft come together.
Mahogany & Teakwood

Mahogany & Teakwood is a grounding fragrance that blends deep mahogany and oak with a touch of soft musk. Warm and woodsy, this scent feels smooth and well balanced, with a gentle depth that lingers in the air. The polished wood notes create a sense of warmth and stability, while the light musk adds a subtle softness, making the overall fragrance both bold and inviting. It brings a refined, atmospheric quality to any space, like stepping into a room filled with history and character.

Why we chose this: Reyna and Kianthe just want worn wooden floors, plants on every table, and firelight drifting between the rafters of their very own bookshop. Mahogany + Teakwood smells like exactly that room, deep and warm, with the rich character of old wood and the soft depth of musk that makes a space feel lived-in and beloved. Light this candle as they settle into Tawney and open their shop, and let the atmospheric warmth fill the room like an evening by the fire in a bookshop that took everything to build and was worth every bit of it.
