A heart-warming cosy fantasy featuring a murderous queen, dragons and a sapphic romance - best enjoyed with a cup of tea. Now in B format.
The instant Sunday Times bestseller from Rebecca Thorne. Can't Spell Treason Without Tea is a heart-warming, sapphic journey brimming with jeopardy, magic, and tea—perfect for fans of Travis Baldree's Legends & Lattes and TJ Klune.
Two women wanted to open a cosy bookshop. They discovered a world of adventure.
Reyna and Kianthe dream of opening a friendly bookshop together, serving the very best tea and cakes. Worn wooden floors, plants on every table, firelight drifting between the rafters—all complemented by love and good company. But Reyna is an elite bodyguard to a vengeful queen, and Kianthe is the most powerful mage in existence. Leaving their lives behind seems... impossible. Yet they flee to Tawney, a town nestled in the icy peaks of dragon country. There, they open the bookshop they'd always wanted.
What follows is a tale of mishaps, mysteries, dragons, and a murderous queen throwing the realm's biggest temper tantrum. Through it, these two women will discover what they mean to each other—and their world.
