Maire is a baker with a fantastic gift: she can infuse her goodies with feelings and abilities, which are then passed on to those who eat them. She doesn’t know why she can do this and remembers nothing of who she is or where she originated from.

When marauders raid her town, Maire is captured and offered towards the eccentric Allemas, who enslaves her and demands that she produce sinister confections, including a witch’s gingerbread cottage, a full time income cookie guy, and size-altering cakes.

During her captivity, Maire is certainly went to by Fyel, a ghostly becoming who’s reluctant to disclose his connection to her. The more regularly they meet, the more her memories come back, and she begins to piece together who and what she actually is-as well as past mistakes that yield cosmic consequences.

From the writer from the Paper Magician series comes a haunting and otherworldly tale of folly and consequence, forgiveness and redemption.
