Madrigals, Magic & Muffins
(2026)(The fifth book in the Tales from the Tavern series)
A novel by T L Stone
Wayside has welcomed pirates, hellkins, and runaway nobility with open arms--but a traveling theatre troupe fleeing a goblin gang may test even this charming village's legendary hospitality.
When a brightly painted wagon careens over Wayside's bridge, the Cackling Cauldron Players claim they've outrun their pursuers. But as strange thefts begin plaguing the village, Thrain suspects that the goblins haven't given up the chase at all. Or is the truth stranger than he could have guessed?
Amid the growing unease, one member of the troupe snags Thrain's attention. Unfortunately, the dwarf can't stop making a fool of himself every time he's around the sharp-tongued madrigal singer. His only hope comes in the form of the troupe's talking cat, who appoints himself Thrain's snarky romantic advisor and relishes his front-row seat for the unfolding disaster.
As Thrain digs into the mystery gathering at Wayside's edges and fumbles his way toward winning over the singer, he'll learn more about himself, and about Wayside's capacity for kindness, than he ever expected.
Madrigals, Magic & Muffins is a wholesome, slow-burn cozy fantasy romance brimming with found family, gentle intrigue, and pastries with the power to make everything better. It features no kingdoms to save or epic battles, only a cozy village, friends who are like family, and the hope that love can bloom in the most unexpected places.
Genre: Fantasy
