“I didn’t want to finish the book and leave”
Three of Cups
What if life was the adventure?
Rose has always wanted to be a bard, a musician who inspires emotions by infusing her song with just a thread of magic. The course seemed clear: attend bardic college in Splendor, the biggest city in the realm, and complete their four-year degree programme.
It seemed easy enough. But nothing is ever that straightforward, is it?
Along the way to Splendor, Rose meets Bosra, a grey-skinned giant-kin woman who is leaving her adventuring days behind her. Most adventurers don’t retire; they either die as heroes or become villains. She intends to start a new life in the busiest and biggest place she knows: the city of Splendor.
Valentina is contemplating whether there is more to life than her accustomed luxuries and limitations as a princess – when Bosra and Rose find respite in the coffee shop she frequents most afternoons. One conversation leads to another, and before she knows it, she’s encouraged to step out of her gilded cage… until the powerful people who built the cage come to drag her back.
“There is nothing about this book I did not like. In fact, it became my read just a little each night so I never had to leave this enveloping story. However, I did finish it and have to return to reality.
This is a great read for those that enjoy melding genres and entrancing stories.”
The Journey
In the Summer of 2023 I found myself at a Crossroad. My life should’ve revolved around nurturing a baby and napping through afternoons, but life decided otherwise.
Instead, Rose was born.
Quickly after her first steps into an unkown world, she was joined by Bosra. Sometime later, Valentina joined.
These three women each deal with their own problems, but they each have to find a way to live in the world while their comforting illusions are stripped away.
Very gently – I hope – these three women take you by the hand and guide you through their life, inviting you to take a look at old wounds. To find peace and comfort with friends that might as well be family.

“This is cozy, low stakes fantasy yet covers serious themes.
It’s a really strong debut novel and one I’m glad to have found.”
Alyssa cooke
What I mainly love is that although it is a fantasy story, this is a very realistic and relatable story.
It has all these problems and feelings that we encouter on a daily base, wrapped in this amazing fantasy world.

“This book is perfect if you liked the Discworld novels by Terry Pratchett.”
