Synopsis

Reyna, an elite bodyguard sworn to a vengeful queen, nearly dies in the line of duty and decides it is finally time to quit a life spent defending a ruler she no longer believes in. She takes up a long-standing offer from her girlfriend Kianthe, secretly the most powerful mage alive and heir to a throne she has no interest in claiming, to run away together and start over far from both their old obligations. The two settle in Tawney, a cozy dragon-country town on the edge of civilization, where they open the bookshop-and-tea-shop they have always dreamed of sharing, even as their respective pasts, an intolerant queen on one side and the weight of unclaimed magical inheritance on the other, remain determined to find them no matter how far they run.
