Synopsis
After fifteen years of war, Ragna Threadscar inherits a run-down alehouse in a sleepy coastal village—and a chance to stop being a warrior. Lighting the hearth should be the easy part. Keeping sharp-tongued orphans from claiming her life as their own? That's the real battle. Ragna didn't plan on children. She didn't plan on community. She never expected magic humming in the hearthfire, or that building something—a business, a family, a future—would take more courage than any battlefield ever demanded. Perfect for fans of Legends & Lattes and The House in the Cerulean Sea , The Hearthfire is a cozy fantasy about found family, second chances, and learning that it's never too late to choose a different story.
