Flour & Forge

A wholesome cozy side-quest, filled with self-discovery, healing, and found family. Step through a portal to another world with feel-good magic, dragons, dwarves, a slow-burn M/M romance, and one magical strudel. A weary warrior. A restless baker. A magical side quest neither of them asked for, but both might need. Rudy had hoped that setting up shop in a new town would quiet his restless spirit, but something inside him still longs for more. He's a quiet baker with a kind heart and an uncanny knack for pastries. When a hidden portal tucked inside a local pub opens into the dwarven realm of Hybarn, Rudy is pulled from his daily routine and dropped into a fantastical world filled with dwarves, dragons, and dire wolves. Before he can make sense of where he is or why, he's swept up in a mission with a ragtag team of dwarves to head deep into the mountains. Their long-shot goal is to find a witch rumored to possess a lost magic. A forgotten power that might help the dwarves win their war and also send Rudy home. Leading the expedition is Tarvo, a wounded warrior with more grit than patience, who would rather be back on the battlefield than babysitting a human baker in the wilderness. But what begins as an inconvenient detour slowly becomes something more. Embark on a healing journey shaped by hard-won trust and the bonds we build when we least expect them. Flour & Forge is perfect for anyone who believes that while pastry might not save the world, it can help make it a world worth saving. "It's The Hobbit meets The Wizard of Oz in this charming, feel-good fantasy adventure." A cozy fantasy adventure set in the same fantasy multiverse as the Barnes & Noble Top 100 bestseller The Bartender Between Worlds.
