Return to the cozy fantasy world of the #1 New York Times bestselling Legends & Lattes series with a new adventure featuring fan-favorite, foul-mouthed bookseller Fern

• #1 NYT BESTSELLING SERIES: This is a New York Times bestselling series, with the sequel-Bookshops & Bonedust-becoming an instant #1 New York Times bestseller. There are over half a million copies of this series in print, and fans will be clamoring for this new story set in the same world.
• NEW CHAPTER FOR BOOKSELLER HEROINE: This third adventure in the world of Legends & Lattes centers on Fern, the beloved bookseller we met in the #1 New York Times bestselling Bookshops & Bonedust. Baldree once again takes the reader on a poignant and touching emotional journey within a charming, original fantasy world.
• READY FOR THE NEXT STEP: Travis Baldree's widely beloved Legends & Lattes series is marking its first hardcover original with Brigands & Breadknives. Baldree follows other successful authors making the switch in format, like Emily Henry, and is well-positioned to make this switch based on reader excitement for the limited hardcover special editions of Legends & Lattes and Bookshops & Bonedust publishing in F24. Ahead of Brigands & Breadknives, we plan to release standard hardcover editions of L&L and B&B featuring the iconic cover art of the TPOs.
• THE FATHER OF COZY FANTASY: Travis Baldree's original voice has spawned a phenomenon in the BookTok world, paving the way for future bestsellers like Rebecca Thorne, Sangu Mandanna, and Heather Fawcett. Retailers have even created their own "cozy fantasy" sections in stores. Baldree's brand of sincere and captivating fantasy is here to stay.
• CHAMPIONED AUTHOR: Everyone from bestselling authors like Seanan McGuire, T. Kingfisher, and Nicholas Eames to Hollywood actors like Felicia Day (Supernatural) and Claudia Jessie (Bridgerton) have raved about Legends & Lattes and Bookshops & Bonedust.
