Legends & Lattes: A Novel of High Fantasy and Low Stakes (Legends & Lattes, Book 1) By Travis Baldree

"Legends & Lattes" by Travis Baldree is a delightful blend of high fantasy and low stakes, offering a fresh perspective on the typical heroic narrative. Viv, a battle-weary orc, decides to retire from a life of bounties and bloodshed to pursue an unexpected dream — opening the first coffee shop in the city of Thune.

However, Viv's journey is not without its challenges. Old and new rivals, along with the city's lack of knowledge about coffee, pose obstacles to her success. Determined to leave her violent past behind, Viv discovers that she can't achieve her dreams alone.

The novel explores the idea that the true rewards of life come from the relationships formed on the uncharted path. Whether brought together by ancient magic, flaky pastry, or a freshly brewed cup of coffee, the characters become more than just companions; they become partners, family, and something deeper than Viv could have imagined.
