Alchemy and a Cup of Tea

Rebecca Thorne

USA Today, Sunday Times, and Indie bestselling author Rebecca Thorne brings the Tomes & Tea series to a delightful, cozy close for our beloved lesbian pirates.

This trade paperback release features vivid sprayed edges, a beautiful color illustration, and a never-before-seen bonus short story!

On the night of her kidnapping, all Reyna wanted was a relaxing cup of tea. She didn't expect to be dropped in a hidden cell, but what the hells. She's flexible.

When Kianthe "rescues" her wife, she expects they'll be back at New Leaf having tea by noon. But there's a problem: an alchemy circle marred Reyna's cell. What does a radical group of alchemists want with the Queendom's newest sovereign... and why did they think they could get away with this?

To make matters worse, Kianthe and Reyna's hometown is having its own problems. Word of New Leaf Tomes and Tea--and its celebrity owners--has finally spread, and tourists are flooding into Tawney. As their friends struggle with the sudden influx, Kianthe and Reyna have to face a bigger conundrum than rogue alchemists: the fact that closing their bookshop might be the only way to save their town.

Things can't just be simple, can they?

About the Author

Thorne, Rebecca: -

Rebecca Thorne is an author of all things fantasy, sci-fi, and romantic, such as the Tomes & Tea series. She thrives on deadlines, averages 2,700 words a day, and tries to write at least 3 books a year. (She also might be a little hyper-focused ADHD.)

After years in the traditional publishing space, Rebecca pivoted into self-publishing. Now, she's found a happy medium as a hybrid author, and leans into her love of teaching by helping other authors find their perfect publication path.

When she's not writing (or avoiding writing), Rebecca can be found traveling the country as a flight attendant, or doing her best impression of a granola-girl hermit with her two dogs. She's always scheming to move to a mountain town and open a bookshop that serves tea.

Praise for this book

Praise for Can't Spell Treason Without Tea

"Readers of Travis Baldree and TJ Klune will feel right at home with this cozy sapphic romantasy." --Publishers Weekly

"Like the tea they serve and the company they keep, this is a read to soothe and comfort." --Library Journal

"Can't Spell Treason without Tea might best be described by quoting the grandfather from cult classic The Princess Bride, since the book does contain 'fighting, torture, revenge . . .monsters, chases, escapes, true love, miracles'." --Booklist
