Breadknives and Boomsticks: A Cozy Fantasy about Bad Baking

Half-troll Runa is meant to be ferrying heroes to their next adventure, not fighting a tiny fire lizard over stolen muffins. When a magical catastrophe leaves Runa stranded far from her party, she holes up in the nearest shelter she can find - an abandoned bakery, in a town whose quirky inhabitants jump at the chance to have someone else do their doughy work... despite the fact that Runa can't tell a croissant from a crossbow. After a lifetime of splitting heads, Runa discovers it's kind of fun to split bread, instead. Even if she has to bargain with a magical fire salamander for partial custody of the bread oven. But when a knife-wielding priestess with the best hair she's ever seen appears in her basement, Runa's new life crumbles around her. Forget going after the evil overlord - this time, the big bad has come after her. And she doesn't think pain au chocolat is the sort of pain they're interested in.
