Bitters & Burials: A cozy fantasy mystery
Magic. Mischief. Murder.
A Cozy Fantasy Mystery
In the quiet town of Vespera, Raven—half elf, half dwarf, and wholly unconventional—is content running her magical odd-jobs business with her baby dragon, Sizzle, curled around her shoulders. But when a famed alchemist is found dead in his locked laboratory, Raven and her best friend Jace find themselves tangled in a mystery as strange as the town itself.
With the official investigation shrouded in secrecy, Raven and Jace begin their own sleuthing. The suspects? A scorned ex-wife, a smug noble with too much to hide, and whispers of a criminal cartel brewing trouble beneath the town’s cobbled charm. Then there’s Dorian, a city guard with sharp eyes and an even sharper sense of justice.
As Raven and Dorian’s paths continue to cross, sparks fly—and not all of them magical. But trust is hard to earn in a town full of secrets. To solve the case, Raven must untangle a web of alchemical lies, shadowy politics, and her own feelings.
Good thing she has Sizzle to keep her grounded—and occasionally set things on fire.
Perfect for fans of whimsical fantasy, cozy mysteries, and slow-burn romance with a dash of dragon fire.
