A cosy fantasy with whimsy, wyverns and warm cups of magical coffee

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

When a geeky overachiever determined to save the world through science unwittingly steps through a portal and ends up falling for a troublemaking chosen one lashing out against her destiny, their two very different universes begin to collide in C.B. Lee's fun, sapphic, cosy fantasy YA romance. Perfect for fans of Legends and Lattes!

When Brenda's internet goes out right before an important scholarship deadline, she stumbles into Kat's family's coffeeshop. Brenda is swept away by cool, confident Kat, who actually cares about Brenda's 19-step plan to save the world through science. Meanwhile, Kat can't stop thinking about Brenda, who is smart, passionate, and doesn't seem to care that Kat is the prophesised Chosen One.

The only problem? Kat and Brenda are from different universes. Like, need-to-find-a-portal-to-go-on-a-second-date different universes. And one of them has dragons.

As their universes collide and things spiral out of control, can a girl who is determined to save the world find love with a girl determined to outrun her destiny?
