Description
Alchemy and a Cup of Tea by Rebecca Thorne follows Reyna and Kianthe, who have no trouble ruling the Queendom, battling evil alchemists, and rescuing baby dragons. However, can they save their town from the ravening influx of tourists?
All Reyna wanted was a relaxing cup of tea. She didn't expect to be kidnapped and dropped in a hidden cell, but never mind—she can adapt. But there's a problem: an alchemy circle mars 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 it?
To make matters worse, Kianthe and Reyna's hometown is having its own problems. Word of their bookshop—and its celebrity owners—has finally spread, and tourists are flooding into Tawney. As their friends struggle with the sudden influx, Kianthe and Reyna face a bigger conundrum than rogue alchemists: the fact that closing their business might be the only way to save their town.
