Valor & Vanilla

A cozy fantasy adventure of quests, cookies, retired royalty, and courage warm enough to share.

PreorderBook 2Release: 2026-07-23

Princess Vera has spent years as the spare to the heir: smiled at, dressed up, and gracefully sidelined. When a strange affliction called the Numbness begins creeping through the kingdoms and dragon realms, Vera volunteers for the kind of quest no one expected from retired royalty. To recover the ingredients for a legendary cure, she will need a brave heart, good company, a better recipe, and the kind of ordinary tenderness that can become extraordinary magic.

A Taste of the Quest

The fate of four kingdoms may rest on a recipe, but Vera’s story is just as much about belonging, bravery, and learning that tenderness can keep people moving through frightening days.
