Baldree, Travis - Legends & Lattes

Viv, a war-weary orc, hangs up her sword for the last time and aims to start fresh by opening the first-ever coffee shop in the city of Thune. However, her plans are challenged by old and new rivals, as well as the fact that no one in Thune has even heard of coffee.

With the help of a mysterious entity known as the Mage, Viv gains access to the forbidden magic of her ancestors. But the power she gains comes at a price: she must become the Unbroken, a living weapon capable of defying death itself.

As Viv navigates the treacherous landscape of Thune's court, she must confront not only her enemies but also the dark secrets of her own past. Along the way, she forms an unlikely alliance with Kael, a young man who shares her desire to break free from Thune's grasp. Together, they embark on a perilous journey to uncover the truth about the Mage and the power that lies within them.
