In Legends & Lattes, an orc barbarian seeks peace by opening a coffee shop, but her past and challenges threaten her new dream.
In Legends & Lattes, we follow the journey of Viv, an orc barbarian who has decided to retire her sword and embrace a new life. She dreams of opening a coffee shop in the city of Thune, a place where the concept of coffee is completely foreign. As she embarks on this new venture, Viv hopes to leave her tumultuous past behind and find solace in the warmth of fresh brews and baked goods. However, her history is not so easily forgotten, and the legendary piece of loot she carried with her brings unexpected challenges.
Viv quickly discovers that starting a coffee shop is not as simple as she envisioned. The city is filled with old rivals and new obstacles that threaten her dream. With the shady underbelly of Thune lurking around every corner, Viv must navigate these dangers while trying to forge a new path for herself. Along the way, she learns that she cannot do it alone; the support of unexpected friends becomes crucial to her success.
As Legends & Lattes unfolds, readers are treated to a heartwarming tale of found family and second chances. The story emphasizes that the true rewards of life come from the connections we make, be it through ancient magic, delectable pastries, or a shared love for coffee. Viv's journey is not just about opening a shop, but about creating a community and finding where she truly belongs.
