THE BAKER AND THE DRAGON: Love, Magic and a Catastrophe in a Teapot

The Baker and the Dragon
An irascible cat, an apocalypse in a teapot, and the undeniable power of magical pastries.

Elle just wanted a quiet life, running her village bakery and perfecting her éclairs. But when her grouchy cat (who’s definitely more than he seems) starts grumbling about the arrival of a mysterious artifact, her peaceful days crumble like overbaked scones.
A cursed dragon trapped in feline form. A magical teapot threatening to unleash a world-ending force. And a beacon that calls to her from the depths of forgotten memories. Elle’s once-simple life is turned upside down, forcing her to confront the mysteries of her past, her untamed magic, and the irritatingly smug dragon who’s been at her side all along.
Joined by a sarcastic rogue, a gruff gnome potion-master, and a mage with a flair for dramatic entrances, Elle must navigate treacherous mountains, meddlesome fae, and an ancient beacon that whispers truths she’s not sure she’s ready to face. Oh, and magical pastries—because saving the world requires éclairs. Lots of éclairs.
As bonds are tested, secrets unravel, and the Weaves of magic hum with destiny, Elle discovers that her quiet life was only the beginning—and that love, like magic, is woven from the strongest threads.
Perfect for fans of cozy romantasy, epic dragon tales, and the life-affirming power of a really good tart.
