From the author of Aevalorn Tales comes a dark fantasy story about the healing power of food.

In the quaint halfling hamlet of Pondaroak, Elina Hogsbreath, a kitchen witch and the steadfast proprietor of the Swindle & Swine, manages the tavern's everyday magic. On a stormy evening, a rain-drenched, weary traveler arrives to stay for the night. He is burdened by grief and harbors a dark secret. Witnessing his sorrow, Elina prepares a meal to soothe the traveler's woes and confronts old fae magic threatening to consume him.

Appealing to Brandon Sanderson, Travis Baldree, and S. L. Rowland fans, A Thyme of Trouble is a whimsical yet somber tale of healing, the power of community, and kindness. It invites readers into a world where grief and hope coexist, and where the warmth of a kitchen can mend the deepest of wounds.
