When you're running from your past, there's no better place to hide than a small village tavern—until your past walks through the front door.
Sass Thornshield has finally found happiness as co-owner of The Tusk & Tail in sleepy Wayside, with her half-elf business partner, a mischievous flutter-stoat, and the striking guardswoman Val making each day brighter than the last.
Then, a stern dwarf warrior with a dire warning. Suddenly forced to reveal her noble heritage and the truth about her flight from an arranged marriage, Sass must decide whether to run once more or trust her newfound family with her deepest secrets.
As the warmth of the hearth battles the chill of unwanted obligations, Sass finds herself caught between duty to her bloodline and loyalty to the family she's chosen. With Val offering unexpected strength and friends willing to risk it all for her sake, Sass discovers that a dwarf’s legacy doesn’t have to be forged with an axe.
Return to the enchanting village of Wayside in this heartwarming tale of friendship, found family, and the courage to face your past. Perfect for fans of cozy fantasy who crave gentle adventure with a side of romance, a sprinkle of baking, and the simple magic of finally finding where you belong.

Cozy Pairings
Brown Sugar Cinnamon is a warm, bakery-inspired fragrance that wraps you in the comforting sweetness of brown sugar and melted butter, gently spiced with cinnamon. Rich and inviting, this scent evokes the feeling of something freshly baked lingering in the air, soft and golden with just a touch of indulgence. Smooth and well balanced, it brings a sense of warmth and familiarity to any space, creating a cozy atmosphere that feels both nostalgic and comforting.
Why we chose this: The Tusk & Tail is being breathed back to life one buttery teacake and warm cup of chai at a time, by a ragtag crew of misfits who keep becoming family despite themselves. Brown Sugar Cinnamon is the candle for every book in this series, the scent of a kitchen that is always producing something golden and good, of evenings by the fire where the food is warm and the company is warmer. Light this candle and let the sweetness of brown sugar and butter fill the room like a tavern that has remembered what it was always meant to be.
