We’re very happy to report that LEGENDS & LATTES by Travis Baldree is continuing its global tour, and is now available in a new Complex Chinese edition! Published by Ecus as 傳奇拿鐵 咖啡廳, the cover is above — the artist is Kaizbow.

The novel is published by Tor Books in the UK and North America. The prequel novel, BOOKSHOPS & BONEDUST is also published by Tor. Here’s the English-language synopsis…

A cosy, heartwarming slice-of-life fantasy about found families and fresh starts.

High fantasy, low stakes – with a double-shot of coffee.

After decades of adventuring, Viv the orc barbarian is finally hanging up her sword for good. Now she sets her sights on a new dream – for she plans to open the first coffee shop in the city of Thune. Even though no one there knows what coffee actually is.

If Viv wants to put the past behind her, she can’t go it alone. And help might arrive from unexpected quarters. Yet old rivals and new stand in the way of success. And Thune’s shady underbelly could make it all too easy for Viv to take up the blade once more.

But the true reward of the uncharted path is the travellers you meet along the way. Whether bound by ancient magic, delicious pastries or a freshly brewed cup, they may become something deeper than Viv ever could have imagined…

Travis’s next novel is BRIGANDS & BREADKNIVES. The North American cover has been unveiled by Tor Books, once again by Carson Daniel…
