Cato has crafted a vividly imagined realm brimming with delectable surprises and exhilarating escapades, leaving me eagerly anticipating more. Kevin Hearne, the New York Times bestselling author of the The Iron Druid series, has woven a captivating tale of a world on the precipice of conflict, accompanied by a mother and daughter on the run. Within this thrilling novel, you'll embark on a swashbuckling adventure, delving into realms of culinary magic and just desserts. Adamantine "Ada" Garland possesses an empathic connection to food and wine, along with a magical ability to perceive aromas, flavors, and ingredients. Valuable to the royal court, Ada served the Five Gods and the Gods-ordained rulers of Verdania until she reached her breaking point, abandoning her service to chart her own course. After sixteen years of hiding, Ada, now a rogue chef, and her beloved Grand-mère find themselves on the run, desperately seeking safety. However, their path leads them to an unexpected ally, a foreign princess named Solenn in a strange court. Solenn unknowingly shares a profound connection with Ada, as they share blood. With her newfound magical perception, Solenn becomes aware of a sinister plot to assassinate her fiancé, the prince. This plot is part of a larger scheme by adversarial forces in the rival country of Albion to ignite conflict and place Solenn at the forefront of the blame. As Ada's and Solenn's paths intertwine, a mother and her long-lost daughter reunite, driven by a shared goal. Together, they face a formidable enemy from Ada's past, who is determined to seek revenge. However, the question remains: what sacrifices will be made, and what hope remains when powerful Gods align themselves in a war that threatens to erupt?
