Travis Baldree has called the novel "heavily Dungeons and Dragons based": an orc warrior leaves the adventuring life to open a coffee shop. The "cozy-fantasy" subgenre is also derived from DnD campaigns culture and therefore inherits a lot of its worldbuilding.

About the work

Legends & Lattes

She’s done slaying monsters She’s ready to serve coffee After decades of adventuring, Viv the orc barbarian is hanging up her sword for good. Now she sets her sights on a new dream: opening the first coffee shop in Thune. Even though no one there knows what coffee actually is. If Viv wants to realize her plans, she’ll need help from unexpected quarters. Yet rivals old and new stand in the way of success. And Thune’s shady underbelly could make it all too easy for Viv to take up the blade once more. But the true reward of the uncharted path is the travellers you meet along the way. Whether bound by ancient magic, delicious pastries or a freshly brewed cup, they may become something deeper than Viv ever could have imagined.
