About this book

Reyna and Kianthe, the formidable power couple behind the beloved bookshop New Leaf Tomes and Tea, have conquered dragons and mastered the Realm, yet they face their most infuriating challenge yet: the crushing weight of their own fame. When an unexpected kidnapping attempt drops Reyna into a mysterious alchemical trap, the ensuing investigation pulls the pair into a dangerous web of radical magic. While they hunt for answers, their peaceful life in the town of Tawney is upended by a swarm of intrusive tourists drawn to the shop’s celebrity status.

The tension between their duty to their craft and their desire for a quiet life comes to a head as the influx of outsiders threatens to destroy the very community they cherish. With the town’s charm fading under the pressure of unwanted attention, Reyna and Kianthe must determine if the only way to save their home is to sacrifice the business that defines them. Balancing high-stakes alchemy with domestic chaos, the couple navigates a world where their greatest strength—their unwavering devotion to one another—is tested by the complexities of popularity and the persistent, often humorous, unpredictability of their magical lives.

What readers are saying

Elizabeth M. Norman

a great finish to an amazing series

"These books have been amazing. I fell into the first book looking for comfort and distraction from difficult times. As the books went along the characters developed, new adventures and friends were introduced and story lines were added. By the time you reach this book, backstories are filled in, the characters are much more nuanced and the adventures exciting. A strong conclusion to the series. ["

A Cozy, Chaotic, and Heartfelt Finale for Reyna & Kianthe!

"Alchemy and a Cup of Tea is a warm, whimsical, and satisfying conclusion to the Tomes & Tea series. Reyna and Kianthe remain one of the most chaotic married couples in fantasy, and this final installment leans fully into everything that makes them wonderful. The story opens with Reyna being kidnapped which sounds dramatic until you remember she’s Reyna, and her biggest complaint is that she didn’t get to finish her cup of tea. Her “rescue” by Kianthe is a great early scenes, partly because Reyna might genuinely be the world’s worst damsel in distress and partly because Kianthe is trying so hard to be heroic while Reyna critiques the execution. Light spoiler: the mysterious alchemy circle in the prison cell adds a genuinely intriguing thread to the plot, and I enjoyed watching them unravel who was behind it and why. Meanwhile, the chaos back home in Tawney was both funny and painfully realistic. The sudden flood of tourists constantly crowding New Leaf Tomes and Tea, pestering the locals, and treating Reyna and Kianthe like celebrity attractions, added a new kind of tension that wasn’t magical but still felt high-stakes. Watching the townsfolk struggle felt all too believable. And the possibility that closing their beloved bookshop might be the only way to restore balance? Heart-squeezing. The book balances soft domestic scenes, magical mystery, and community conflict really well. This finale delivers everything I wanted: joy, found family shenanigans, baby dragons, protective partners and spouses, and a heartfelt look at how even good things can disrupt a quiet life. A delightful close to Reyna and Kianthe’s story. ["
