The Art of the Brew

When a legendary art thief hits Misty Valley, Elain takes it personally.

Two priceless paintings vanish from right under her nose—stolen from her own territory, with all the finesse of a challenge thrown directly at one of the Fae Court's deadliest operatives. Whoever did this didn't just want the art. They wanted Elain to know they could.

The insult cuts even deeper when one of the stolen works turns out to be a commissioned work painted by Elain's boyfriend. With Fae politics, reputation, and personal loyalties tangled together, failure isn't an option.

Meanwhile, Ebrel has problems of her own.

A new coffee shop opens in town, and its barista is her Italian rival who's back for his revenge. Worse? Someone is sabotaging Mystic Brews, enchanting coffee cups to make her drinks taste wrong. Not burnt. Not weak. Magically wrong.

As stolen art, cursed cups, and old grudges collide, Ebrel and Elain uncover a deeper scheme that blends supernatural theft with magical warfare—and the realization that Misty Valley is being tested from multiple angles at once.

Because in a town where magic and mundanity coexist, even a cup of coffee can become a weapon.

The Art of the Brew delivers high-stakes urban fantasy intrigue wrapped in a cozy paranormal mystery—featuring elite Fae agents, magical sabotage, rival baristas, and a heroine discovering that protecting her town may require more than just good coffee.
