About this listen

Read by the Hugo Award-winning author, Travis Baldree.

Return to the cosy fantasy world of the No. 1 New York Times bestselling Legends & Lattes series with Brigands & Breadknives by Travis Baldree, a freshly baked adventure featuring fan-favorite, foul-mouthed bookseller Fern.

Fern has weathered the stillness and storms of a bookseller’s life for decades, but now, in the face of crippling ennui, transplants herself to the city of Thune to hang out her shingle beside a long-absent friend’s coffee shop. What could be a better pairing? Surely a charming renovation montage will cure what ails her!

If only things were so simple . . .

It turns out that fixing your life isn’t a one-time prospect, nor as easy as a change of scenery and a lick of paint.

A drunken and desperate night sees the rattkin waking far from home in the company of a legendary warrior surviving on inertia, an imprisoned chaos-goblin with a fondness for silverware, and an absolutely thumping hangover.

As together they fend off a rogue’s gallery of ne’er-do-wells trying to claim the bounty the goblin represents, Fern may finally reconnect with the person she actually is when anything is possible . . .

Critic Reviews

Funny, unexpected and touching (Ben Aaronovitch, bestselling author of Rivers of London)
This book has a distinct flavor, as well as a greater sense of scope. But as with all of Baldree’s books, it’s the characters who matter, and he’s given us several lovely additions to his expanding cast
The charm, tenderness, coziness, and humor of Legends and Lattes
Travis is clearly the King of Cosy Fantasy . . . I enjoyed this enormously
A warm hug of a book, a place to retreat from the world for a little while, drink a coffee and come out a little better (T. Kingfisher, Sunday Times bestselling author of Hemlock & Silver, on Legends & Lattes)
Sweet, beautiful and, most of all, kind. I hugely recommend this book (Seanan McGuire, author of the Wayward Children series, on Legends & Lattes)
Hilarious, heartwarming, and wholesome as heck (Nicholas Eames, author of Kings of the Wyld on Bookshops & Bonedust)
Magical and full of heart (Sangu Mandanna, author of The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches, on Bookshops & Bonedust)
Baldree as an auto-read author for me. Books, baked goods, and necromancy - what more could you possibly want in a story? (Genevieve Gornichec, author of The Witch's Heart on Bookshops & Bonedust)

I’m happy to go wherever Travis chooses to take me next. This novel is different in the best possible way—quiet, comforting, and deeply satisfying. I genuinely love being in the Legends & Lattes universe; it feels like slipping into a familiar, cozy space I never want to leave. Thank you, Travis, for creating something so special. I’ll be eagerly awaiting the next one.
