Royals and Ruses

The Annual Pigsend Harvest Festival has arrived once again, and this year's may prove to be more exciting than last. Rumor has it Queen Meandra herself will be coming to oversee the festivities, a fact that has both confused and excited the rural citizens. Bev's got her hands full, both tending to the out of town guests at the Weary Dragon, and also helping Ida Witzel with the festivities.

But when Sheriff Rustin doesn't show up for work, and more Pigsend citizens go missing, Bev's on the case once again. Can she figure out who or what's snatching the citizens of Pigsend before the entire town disappears—or there's no one left to help with the Harvest Festival when the queen finally arrives?

Royals and Ruses is the final book in the Weary Dragon Inn series.

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: Bev runs the Weary Dragon Inn in the quaint village of Pigsend, and she cannot remember who she was before she arrived five years ago, but she has built a life of rosemary bread and familiar faces and a town she would do anything to protect. Mahogany + Teakwood carries the deep, grounding warmth of a series about a woman whose identity is a mystery but whose community is entirely certain, the scent of old wood and worn floors and spaces that hold their people close. It is the candle for every book in this series. Light this candle and let the rich depth of mahogany and oak fill the room like an inn at the end of a long day, where the fire is going and Pigsend is safe for another evening.
