Is your favorite fantasy the kind where sarcasm is a survival skill and baking is a legitimate form of diplomacy?
Do you love watching oddballs and outcasts find belonging—not because they fit in, but because they fit together?
What if your magical quest came with talking dragons, sweet queer love, lost witches, and companions who never set out to be heroes—but are anyway?
Prince Theo would rather bake than rule. But when dark magic threatens his kingdom, he must trade his apron for a sword and embark on a quest with unlikely allies.
Can a reluctant prince, a sarcastic dwarf, a stoic knight, and a dragon save the realm?
Cookies and Claws is a feel-good, cozy fantasy with found family, lots of sarcasm, and m/m romance.
Meet Camilla Vavruch, a multitasking marvel and dragon-lover extraordinaire! By day, she’s a medical doctor. By night (and early morning and lunch breaks), she unleashes her wild imagination as a writer of fantasy novels filled with magic and, of course, dragons of all shapes and sizes.
Camilla is the author of two series, The Elemental Saga and Stories of Gereon. Both are set in the same universe, but with entirely different characters and focus. All of Camilla’s stories include found family (her favorite trope!), at least a touch of hurt/comfort, and a healthy dose of fantastical creatures.
When she’s not slaying dragons on the page, Camilla is also a mom of three (who somehow still finds time to sleep), a web and graphic designer, and a lover of all things creative – from writing to drawing and photography. It’s a wonder she has any time left to breathe, but Camilla wouldn’t have it any other way.
Join her on her wild and fantastical journey through life!
Cozy, exciting, and so enjoyable. A little adventure mixed with fantasy and all wrapped around warm, delicious treats? What better way to relax and spend the day. Definitely excited to read more of this tale/universe.
This might be the sweetest book I've read all year. It's a cosy fantasy adventure, with an unlikely group of heroes working together to save the day and battle against the evil force plaguing their kingdom. Featuring a reluctant prince who just wants to bake, a grumpy sarcastic herbologist dwarf, a loyal protective knight, an animal sidekick, a caring dragon shifter who hoards, and a misunderstood villain. It's a perfect blend of sarcasm, inspiring baking, heroic misfits, tender moments, and a feel good cosy atmosphere.
