SMALL FORTUNES. BIG FEELINGS.

'Joyful, heartwarming and utterly charming' AMÉLIE WEN ZHAO
'The warmest, loveliest book' SANGU MANDANNA
'Will soothe your heart' SARAH BETH DURST

A cozy fantasy about trying to find yourself - and finding a family instead. Perfect for fans of Legends and Lattes, A Psalm for the Wild-Built and The House in the Cerulean Sea.

Fleeing a troubled past, immigrant fortune teller Tao roams the dusty countryside with only her mule for company, telling small fortunes, for small prices. Big fortunes come with big consequences . . . which she knows from bitter experience.

It's a lonely life, until she encounters an ex-mercenary and a (semi) reformed thief, who recruit her into their desperate search for a lost child. Soon, they're joined by a baker with a knead for adventure, and - of course - a slightly magical cat.

Tao sets down a new path with companions as big-hearted as her fortunes are small. But as her friends break down her walls, the shadows of her past close in. Now, Tao must decide whether to risk everything to save the family she never thought she could have . . .

A lovely story and beautiful setting, but didn’t seem to flow as well as it could have. The beginning was really lovely but it seemed to go a bit off track in the middle. The end was great and wrapped up nicely - felt like drinking a warm cup of tea.

The narration was ok but had some strange emphasis and cadence that threw me off a bit.

Very sweet and cosy

A mage, a barbarian, a thief and a baker?!?! An interesting mix of adventurers that doesn’t fit the brief. A mage who doesn’t want to be one, a thief who is trying to change, a mercenary turned farmer and a baker travel through the world and discover friendship and so much more.

Fun twist on d&d

This book wrapped me up in a warm blanket and made me smile.
A beautiful story full of characters that balanced each other out.
I found this book at a time where I needed to sit down with a hot cup of tea and a good ending.
I've read/listened to it for a second time and it was just as good as the first
