By: J. Penner

Narrated by: Vicki-Jo Eva

A human, a dwarf and an elf walk into a bake-off…

In the heart of Adenashire, where elvish enchantments and dwarven delights rule, human baker Arleta Starstone works twice as hard at perfecting her unique blend of baking with apothecary herbs. So, when her orc neighbor (and biggest fan) secretly enters her creations into the prestigious Langheim Baking Battle, Arleta faces a dilemma. Being magicless, her participation in the competition could draw more scowls than smiles. And if Arleta wants to prove her talent and establish her culinary reputation, she'll need more than just her pastry craft to sweeten the odds.

Though Arleta may not yet believe in herself, she makes her way to Langheimwith the help of a very attractive woodland elfand competes. While on a journey of mouthwatering pastries, self-discovery, heartwarming friendships, and potential romance, Arleta will have to decide whether winning the Baking Battle is the true prize after all. But win or lose, her adventure is only beginning…

Although this book is part of a series it can only be listened to as a standalone. Escape to Adenashire for a delightful cozy fantasy where every twist is a treat and every turn a step closer to home.

Cozy and wonderful!

This story was so cozy and wonderful! I really liked the characters, and I can't wait to read more in this world. The narration was fantastic as well!

Cozy & Sweet

Enjoyed this! Mix elven fated, with a dash of The Great British Bake Off, plus the bonds found-family... and that makes up the ingredients of this sweet and cozy story!

Note: Mild trigger warnings (including loss of family at young age). Nothing graphic, but characters do share how it still effects them years later.

Such a magically cozy read!

I cannot say enough about this story. I absolutely loved it. The performance was complementary to this sweet cozy story of baking, friendship, and little dash of magic.

Love the concept… terrible MC

Love the Lord of the Rings meets Great British Baking show. But the MC is exhausting and flat. It was like reading stereotypes of anxiety, also annoying night in shining armor to fight her battles instead her growing into herself to stand up for herself.

I like the easy read, but I wish the MC was someone to route for.

Cozy Delicious Comfort

If you are in need of a gentle world with the kindness of Schitts Creek and the fantasy of Tolkien with the focus of Great British Baking Show, this book is for you. I loved being in this world.
