A cozy fantasy with a memory-based magic system to savor with your favorite treat and plush blanket.
Core memories allow Kindred to connect to the world's magic, but after the magic reveals it has memories of its own, things get complicated.
Ex-blacksmith Jaron dreams of adventure, though it never seems to find him in his sleepy, isolated community. That all changes when he makes an unexpected discovery that pushes him towards the nearby mountains in search of answers. If he can pull this journey off, he’ll return a hero like the ones he’s spent his whole life reading about.
On the other side of the mountains, Elza, a top-tier magical scholar, is tasked with using her connection to the magic to restore her ancestral homeland. Her carefully planned excursion goes sideways when the magic unleashes a torrential storm.
When Jaron and Elza collide in the ongoing deluge, the duo decides to work together to unravel their connected mysteries and discover truths they never deemed possible.
This book can be read as a standalone.
The Farthest Reach is a mid-stakes cozier fantasy with a central cast over thirty, Ghibli vibes, bibliophiles, LGBTQIA+ rep, and memory-based magic. Great for fans of T. Kingfisher’s cozier works, Sarah Beth Durst, or Travis Baldree.
