Can't Spell Treason Without Tea

By Rebecca Thorne
Can't Spell Treason Without Tea by Rebecca Thorne digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

In the tradition of Legends & Lattes, comes a cozy fantasy steeped in sapphic romance about one of the Queen’s private guards and a powerful mage who want to open a bookshop and live happily ever after…if only the world would let them.

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.

A Macmillan Audio production from Bramble.

Smiling Face with Heart-Eyes“This is genuinely the best wlw romance book I’ve ever read. Nothing even comes close to the sweetness of Kianthe and Reyna’s relationship. I was expecting this book to not have a lot going on since it was described as “cozy” (sort of similar to Legends and Lattes which is good, but kind of slow). However, I would say that the plot of the book was actually interesting and didn’t feel slow at all. The world building is fun, plus there are dragons! Even the side characters were fun and not too stereotypical. I can’t even describe how happy this book made me. It’s the refreshing and beautifully written sapphic fantasy book of my dreams. Can’t wait to read the sequel!!”
Slightly Smiling Face“Cute & cozy fantasy! Perfect for fall but a great little read between some thrillers etc!”
Slightly Smiling Face“I really like this book. It was nice to have an already developed relationship where they knew each other so well. And I love that they knew how to calm each other down and when a conversation was being productive or not. I loved the diverse cast and the non-binary characters. And I will be picking up the second book immediately.”

About Rebecca Thorne

Rebecca Thorne is an author of all things fantasy, sci-fi, and romantic, such as the Tomes & Tea series. She thrives on deadlines, averages 2,700 words a day, and tries to write at least 3 books a year. (She also might be a little hyper-focused ADHD.)
