From the author of Aevalorn Tales comes a fantasy story about community and connection.

In the marshy hamlet of Bogwollow, Griselda Moonberry, a soft-spoken halfling baker, struggles to keep her late mother’s bakery alive amidst dwindling customers and quiet grief.

When a charming stranger arrives with a magicked pie box offering endless confections, the townsfolk’s appetite for effortless indulgence threatens to consume their community. As the bakery’s warm hearth grows cold, Griselda must confront her insecurities and find the courage to reclaim her craft.

Set against a backdrop of moss-covered homes and sagging willow trees, this cozy fantasy explores the power of resilience, tradition, and the magic of love baked into every loaf.

Received an Honorable Mention in Writing Battle’s Autumn 2024 Short Story Contest.
