Desserts and Dragons

Legends & Lattes meets the Great British Bake Off in this cozy fantasy book.

Watch the Royal Bake Off…
Welcome to the kingdom of Everdorne, where sugar-obsessed dragons tend the fires in the royal palace, and Princess Damora has just gotten engaged. When her head pastry chef suddenly quits, the palace hosts the Royal Bake Off to find a replacement to bake the royal wedding cake.

As the first dwarf to graduate from The Royal Confectionary Apprenticeship, Gregor Brimstone is determined to win. Baking comes easily; performing for the enchanted mirrors placed all around the palace? Not so much. With the eyes of the kingdom upon them, Gregor competes in multiple rounds of confectionary challenges against his best friends. Winning will bring glory, but at what cost?

When a mysterious stranger arrives, it seems his sinister magic might sabotage the competition. Or worse, the royal wedding! It’s up to Gregor and his friends to stop him, but to do so they’ll have to beat him in the Royal Bake Off…

I’m a bit of a baking show addict, so this one stood out to me. Baking and dragons–what could go wrong! This was a light, fun tale, fillig the same need as my favorite baking shows.

The Dragon Transport & Pacification Society

After Mandy’s family Troll Bridge is attacked and destroyed by dragons, Mandy finds herself alone. Her parents and her two little brothers have disappeared. Suspecting the dragons, she embarks on a desperate quest to find and rescue her missing family, or avenge them.
On the way, she swallows her new resentment of dragons long enough to rescue Beeble, a tiny fae dragon. With the cute dragon’s help, and help from unexpected friends within the walls of the Dragon Transport and Pacification Society itself, the pair unravel a plot bigger than the destruction of her beloved family troll bridge.
