Sugar & Sorcery - Hardcover

by Shanen Ricci (Author)

In a world where sugar heals wounds, the courage to love might be the most powerful magic of all.

Lempicka dreams of crafting pastries people actually care about.

With golden apples holding a magical sugar that only confectioners can turn into mana-restoring treats for sorcerers, her talent should make her indispensable.

But her grimoire won't awaken, her gift as a confectioner remains stubbornly silent, her mentor has vanished, and her bakery is a sugary disaster. And now, her string of misfortunes has drawn the attention of the Wish Witch... who's cursed her.

If Lempicka doesn't break the spell by the time of winter's first harvest, she'll lose her soul forever.

Her last hope lies in the mist-laden woods with the Mist Sorcerer, rumored to transform into a monstrosity. Arawn is every bit as charming as you'd expect a powerful sorcerer to be-cold, cynical, demanding, and definitely not helping out of the goodness of his (nonexistent) heart. He agrees to aid her, but only on one condition: she must craft a confection powerful enough to end his cursed existence.

With a talking lamb and two cursed creatures by her side, Lempicka steps into Arawn's realm of grumbling Spirits, enchanted orchards, and an overly emotional will-o'-the-wisp for a butler.

Once upon a bite...

A cursed confectioner. A doomed sorcerer.

And the final recipe that might just save their hearts... or break them forever.

But healing hearts is no easy task.
