When life gives you lemons, squeeze them into a stiff drink and stir.
After twenty years defending the frozen north against some of the most dangerous threats in the nine kingdoms, Rhoren “Bloodbane” has finally earned his retirement. While the blood mage's service to the realm may have ended, burning veins and aching joints remain, and Rhoren soon learns that a warmer climate offers relief from his chronic pain.
And a chance at a fresh start.
In the warm and relaxing atmosphere of Eastborne, the umbral elf finds a new purpose and a sense of belonging. He may have left the frozen north behind, but he brings with him the skills and strength gained from a lifetime of defending the realm. Along with his most prized possession—a book of drink recipes inherited from his father.
Spilled cocktails may not carry the same weight as spilled blood, but opening a tavern brings a unique brand of challenges. With the right friends and a little bit of luck, he might just have a recipe for success.
About the Series: Welcome to the enchanting world of Tales of Aedrea, where small-scale stories, low-stakes adventure, and cozy fantasy come to life within an epic, high-fantasy realm.

My biggest criticism is the way the female characters are written. I wish they had been given more depth and individuality. The elderly neighbor came across as mostly annoying, the young alchemist felt defined by being nosy, and the protagonist’s mother barely left an impression. My strongest memory of her is that she made tea and was frightened during the attack. In contrast, the father was portrayed as adventurous, brave, and capable.
I picked up this book because I love Legends & Lattes. Although its main characters are also women, they are layered, memorable, and surrounded by a cast of equally interesting characters. Reading this book, I found myself missing that same sense of depth and agency for the women.
I wasn’t looking for every female character to be a fighter or a hero, but I did want them to feel more fully realized. As it stands, I came away wishing the women had been written with the same care, complexity, and presence as the men.
The Women Deserved More Depth
