i know that xavion demachel is a little bit of a bitch, but they remind me a lot of taako adventurezone, so unfortunately i like them quite a lot

I'm almost done with this, and it's soooo good, but I don't want to leave Rosemond Street yet. I want them to keep going on insane quests and brewing wild potions, and saving more dragons. Guys, I love this series so much you don't understand.

Thank you, @ashen-crest, for sharing the Scar and all its merchants with us.

Jumping the queue to bring you an ARC for A Draught for a Dragon by @ashen-crest!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I loved the first two books in the series, and the third and final book did not disappoint! All of the characters are great, I love the apprentices, and the end made me so happy.

Also the dragon is great and good.

Anyway this is up for preorder right now with goodies! So you should get it. And if you haven't read the first book, A Rival Most Vial, I cannot recommend it enough.

Cozy fantasy author R.K. Ashwick (she/her) speaks on the rewards and challenges of wrapping up a series with her latest novel The Spirit’s Curse, the conclusion to the Lutesong trilogy.

The spirits have awoken – and can never sleep again.

After being roused to defend against a magical disaster, the nature spirits of Thalis have begun to leave their groves and mingle with humans. Eager to welcome their verdant new friends, Emry, Cal, and Aspen take center stage once more: they throw the country’s first spirit festival.

Music and merriment abound—but when an angry lynx attacks Aspen onstage, demanding to know how to go back to sleep in his grove, Emry realizes that not every spirit wants this new life… and he has no idea how to return them to their old one.

The trio and their allies venture into an old-growth forest, seeking answers from Yarrow, the country’s oldest spirit. But Yarrow has grown treacherous—instead of helping them, it traps them in Raven’s Rest, a stubborn little village fighting for its place in the forest.

As Yarrow’s malice grows and the spirits question their place in the world, Emry, Cal, and Aspen must join forces with the village to subdue Yarrow—even if it means destroying the very answers they seek.
