The bakers' guild and magic

In the heart of Adenashire, a realm ruled by elven magic and dwarven delights, human baker Arleta Starstone works twice as hard to perfect her unique blend of baking and medicinal herbs. So when her orc neighbour (and biggest fan) enters her creations into the prestigious Langheim Bake-Off, Arleta faces a dilemma. Lacking magic of her own, her participation could stir up more trouble than joy. If she wants to prove her talent and make a name for herself as a baker, she needs more than just cupcakes and scones to tip the scales in her favour.

Despite her doubts, Arleta heads to Langheim – accompanied by a very handsome wood elf – to take part in the competition. On a journey filled with mouth-watering pastries, self-discovery, warm friendships, and a touch of romance, she must decide if winning the Bake-Off is the ultimate prize. But win or lose, her adventure is only just beginning...

Although this book is part of the Adenashire series, it can be read as a standalone novel.
