When an injury throws a young, battle-hungry orc off her chosen path, she may find that what we need isn't always what we seek.


Set in the world of New York Times bestselling Legends & Lattes, Travis Baldree's Bookshops & Bonedust takes us on a journey of high fantasy, first loves, and secondhand books.

Viv's career with the notorious mercenary company Rackam's Ravens isn't going as planned.

Wounded during the hunt for a powerful necromancer, she's packed off against her will to recuperate in the sleepy beach town of Murk—so far from the action that she worries she'll never be able to return to it.

What's a thwarted soldier of fortune to do?

Spending her hours at a beleaguered bookshop in the company of its foul-mouthed proprietor is the last thing Viv would have predicted, but it may be both exactly what she needs and the seed of changes she couldn't possibly imagine.

Still, adventure isn't all that far away. A suspicious traveler in gray, a gnome with a chip on her shoulder, a summer fling, and an improbable number of skeletons prove Murk to be more eventful than Viv could have ever expected.

“Take a break from epic battles and saving the world. This is a low-stakes fantasy that delivers exactly what's advertised: a wholesome, cozy novel that feels like a warm hug. This is my new comfort read.”—Genevieve Gornichec, author of The Witch's Heart, on Legends & Lattes

At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Slightly Smiling Face“Feel good DnD vibes set in a bookstore, sign me up! I enjoyed Legends and Lattes so I was looking forward to this one. I listened to the audiobook and I usually love when the authors do the narration but Travis is a professional so no surprise, it was great. Very cozy, bookshop vibes but that’s about it. It’s slow paced like the first one, and there’s a small conflict but it’s very light. It was nice to get Vivs backstory and I loved the epilogue. It made me feel so good!”

Slightly Smiling Face“I love cozy, low stakes fantasy and this second book delivered that again. I find myself smiling the entire time I was reading it. This series can go on and on and I’ll be here for every time. It’s a nice slice of life with some interesting plot thrown in.”
