A stunning graphic novel adaptation of the New York Times bestselling BookTok sensation and beloved cozy fantasy Legends & Lattes “The modern classic about starting over truly comes to life in this warm adaptation of Baldree’s cozy masterpiece. I wish I could live in every panel.”—Matt Dinniman, New York Times bestselling author of Dungeon Crawler Carl and Operation Bounce House After a lifetime of bounties and bloodshed, Viv is hanging up her sword. The battle-weary orc aims to start afresh, opening the city of Thune''s first-ever coffee shop. But old and new rivals stand in the way of success, not to mention the fact that no one has the faintest idea what coffee actually is. If Viv wants to put the blade behind her and make her dreams a reality, she won''t be able to go it alone. After all, the true rewards of an uncharted path are the travelers you meet along the way. And whether they are drawn together by ancient magic, flaky pastry, or a freshly brewed cup―Viv may find something deeper here than she ever imagined... This full-color graphic novel adaptation brings the high fantasy and low stakes of this beloved story to vibrant life as it''s never been seen before.

Return to the cosy fantasy world of the No. 1 New York Times bestselling Legends & Lattes series with Brigands & Breadknives by Travis Baldree, a freshly baked adventure featuring fan-favorite, foul-mouthed bookseller Fern. Fern has weathered the stillness and storms of a bookseller''s life for decades, but now, in the face of crippling ennui, transplants herself to the city of Thune to hang out her shingle beside a long-absent friend''s coffee shop. What could be a better pairing? Surely a charming renovation montage will cure what ails her! If only things were so simple . . . It turns out that fixing your life isn''t a one-time prospect, nor as easy as a change of scenery and a lick of paint. A drunken and desperate night sees the rattkin waking far from home in the company of a legendary warrior surviving on inertia, an imprisoned chaos-goblin with a fondness for silverware, and an absolutely thumping hangover. As together they fend off a rogue''s gallery of ne''er-do-wells trying to claim the bounty the goblin represents, Fern may finally reconnect with the person she actually is when anything is possible . . .

Ambientada no universo do best-seller Cafés e Lendas, a prequel Livros e Ossos é uma jornada de alta fantasia, primeiros amores e muitos livros antigos Viv é uma jovem orc que tem sede de batalhas e de vitória, mas sua carreira com os notórios Corvos de Rackam, um bando de mercenários velhos de guerra, vai de mal a pior. Depois de ser ferida durante uma caçada a uma poderosa necromante, Viv é enviada contra sua vontade para Murk, uma cidadezinha litorânea, para se recuperar. Para sua tristeza, o máximo de aventura que ela deve conseguir por ali é observar as ondas quebrando na costa. Esquecida pelos companheiros de guerra, Viv se distrai passando os dias na livraria Thistleburr, e se surpreende com o fato de que os livros (e a dona mal-humorada do lugar) sejam tão divertidos. Mas essa pode ser justamente a mudança de que precisa para enfim dar um novo rumo à sua vida. Só que as façanhas que Viv tanto deseja talvez não estejam tão distantes... Em meio a viajantes misteriosos, gnomos ranzinzas, crushes de verão e um número preocupante de esqueletos à solta, a orc vai descobrir que há muito mais na tranquila Murk do que ela poderia supor. Emocionante e com um toque de humor, Livros & Ossos reflete sobre a importância da vida em comunidade e a busca por um propósito em meio às peripécias do destino. Situado no mesmo universo de Cafés & Lendas, o livro narra as aventuras da jovem orc antes de ela decidir aposentar sua espada e abrir a própria cafeteria.

Keks oder Kampf – das ist jetzt die Frage! Die Fantasy-Sensation aus den USA geht weiter: Endlich könnt ihr die Vorgeschichte zu Ork-Kriegerin Viv lesen! Gerade als Ork-Kriegerin Viv mit ihrer Karriere als Söldnerin bei Rackam''s Ravens durchstarten will, verletzt sie sich bei einem Kampf und wird von der Crew in der Küstenstadt Murk abgesetzt. Verwundet ist Viv gezwungen, ihr Schwert vorerst beiseitezulegen. Bevor sie sich jedoch langweilen kann, trifft sie auf Fern, die sie in die Welt der Bücher entführt, und somit findet Viv ein neues Projekt: die Erneuerung des heruntergekommenen Bücherladens. Auch mit der Zwergin und Bäckerin Maylee verbringt Viv immer mehr Zeit. Doch Murk ist nicht die schläfrige Kleinstadt, für die Viv sie gehalten hat – die Gnomin Gallina will Viv um jeden Preis beweisen, dass sie eine gute Kämpferin für Rackam ist, und dann ist da auch noch ein Neuankömmling, der sein Unwesen in der Stadt treibt ... »Endlich: Neue Abenteuer mit unserer Lieblings-Orkheldin!« Publishers Weekly »Magie, Skelette, Schwertkämpfe und nette Orks – besser geht es nicht.« HuffPost Books »Ich liebe Fantasy, ich liebe Bücher, ich liebe Viv – danke, Travis Baldree!« Ben Aaronovitch »Aufregende Cozy-Fantasy voller Wärme!« Kirkus Reviews »Er hat es wieder geschafft!

Viv''s career with the renowned mercenary company Rackam''s Ravens isn''t going as planned. Wounded during the hunt for a powerful necromancer, she''s packed off against her will to recuperate in the sleepy beach town of Murk - so far from the action that she worries she''ll never be able to return to it. What''s a thwarted soldier of fortune to do? Spending her hours at a struggling bookshop in the company of its foul-mouthed proprietor is the last thing Viv would have predicted. Even though it may be exactly what she needs. Still, adventure isn''t far away. A suspicious traveller in grey, a gnome with a chip on her shoulder, a summer fling and an improbable number of skeletons prove Murk to be more eventful than Viv could have ever expected. Sometimes, right things happen at the wrong time. Sometimes, what we need isn''t what we seek. And sometimes, we find ourselves in the stories we experience together.

Za jakiś czas otworzy kawiarnię z pyszną latte… Dziś jeszcze walczy z potworami. *** Kariera Viv w drużynie Kruków, sławnych najemników, zostaje nagle przerwana. Podczas polowania na potężną nekromantkę orczyca odnosi rany i wbrew swojej woli trafia na rekonwalescencję do spokojnego nadmorskiego miasteczka Murk. Niewiele się tam dzieje, no i wszystko wskazuje na to, że zbyt prędko nie będzie mogła wrócić na pola bitew. Co za pech dla wojowniczki Przyjaźń z właścicielką podupadającej księgarni – szczurołaczką o niewyparzonym języku – to ostatnie, czego Viv mogłaby się spodziewać. Ale to nie wszystko! Okaże się, że Murk zapewni jej znacznie więcej wrażeń, niż początkowo zakładała… Bywa, że właściwe rzeczy zdarzają się w niewłaściwym czasie. Bywa, że poszukujemy zupełnie nie tego, czego nam potrzeba. Bywa też, że odnajdujemy się w historiach, które przeżywamy wspólnie z drugą osobą. *** Akcja „Księgarń i kościopyłu” rozgrywa się dwadzieścia lat przed tym, o czym czytaliśmy w „Legendach i Latte”. To kolejna, niezależna, nastrojowa fantasy Travisa Baldree, który tym razem opowiada, jak potężną moc mają dobra księgarnia, oddani przyjaciele i nieoczekiwane wybory, których dokonujemy na ścieżce naszego życia.

Schwert oder Kaffee? Das ist hier die Frage. Viv, eine wilde und tapfere Ork-Kriegerin, ist nach Jahren voller Abenteuer und Fährnisse des Kämpfens müde geworden. Sehr zum Unwillen ihrer Gefährten beschließt sie, das Schwert an den Nagel zu hängen – und dafür ein Kaffeehaus zu eröffnen. In der Hafenstadt Thune setzt sie zusammen mit dem Kobold Cal ihren Plan in die Tat um und lockt mit dem exquisiten Getränk schon bald Krieger, Zwerge und Wesen jeglicher Art an ... und leider auch den bösen Elf Fennus, der von Viv ein geheimnisvolles Artefakt stehlen will. Aber auch wenn Viv sich mittlerweile in die Succubus Tandri verliebt hat, ist sie alles andere als eingerostet und nimmt den Kampf auf!
