Wishlist Wednesday: Bookshops and Bonedust

When is it out? 7th November

What’s it about? 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.

Why do I want to read it? I absolutely adored Legends and Lattes when I finally got my hands on a copy. Everything about it was so perfect, especially for an Autumn/Winter cosy read, especially as someone who is a big fan of coffee (I know, who could have guessed it?) . I’m curious to see what a prequel might entail, and whether the narrative will keep that cosy aesthetic while diving into Viv’s past as a mercenary, but I trust it’ll be an exciting read! I am sure I’ll miss the presence of some of the beloved cast of Legends and Lattes but it’ll be great to see which new characters we’ll meet through Viv’s adventures.
