***
The peculiar tale of an enchanted baker who
creates fairy tales’ darkest and most magical confections.
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’t know why she can do this and remembers nothing
of who she is or where she came from.
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’s gingerbread cottage, a living
cookie boy, and size-altering cakes.
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—as well as past mistakes that yield cosmic
consequences.
From the author of the Paper Magician series comes a haunting and
otherworldly tale of folly and consequence, forgiveness and redemption.
Magic Bitter, Magic Sweet is available for preorder on Amazon and B&N. Ebook, audiobook, and paperback release from 47North June 28th!
