About Can't Spell Treason Without Tea

Reyna and Kianthe dream of leaving duty behind and opening a warm bookshop filled with tea, cakes and good company. The problem is that Reyna serves a vengeful queen, and Kianthe is a mage too powerful to simply disappear. When they flee to a mountain town in dragon country, their quiet new life quickly fills with mysteries, magic, danger and the consequences of choosing love over obedience.
