<\/p>\nThere’s a series that starts with “The Paper Magician” which I read back when it first came out, and the whimsical world of magic really captured my attention. \u00a0So when I heard that C.N. Holmberg had a new book coming, I jumped on board. Check out the cover and blurb below…<\/p>\n
The peculiar tale of an enchanted baker who creates fairy tales\u2019 darkest and most magical confections.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Maire is a baker with an extraordinary gift: she can infuse her treats with emotions and abilities, which are then passed on to those who eat them. She doesn\u2019t know why she can do this and remembers nothing of who she is or where she came from.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
When marauders raid her town, Maire is captured and sold to the eccentric Allemas, who enslaves her and demands that she produce sinister confections, including a witch\u2019s gingerbread cottage, a living cookie boy, and size-altering cakes.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
During her captivity, Maire is visited by Fyel, a ghostly being who is reluctant to reveal his connection to her. The more often they meet, the more her memories return, and she begins to piece together who and what she really is\u2014as well as past mistakes that yield cosmic consequences.<\/p>\n
