She opens the first coffee shop in the city of Thune. But old and new rivals stand in the way of success — not to mention the fact that no one has the faintest idea what coffee actually is. If Viv wants to put the blade behind her and make her plans a reality, she won't be able to go it alone. “Legends & Lattes” is described as “high fantasy and low stakes”, this is a cozy little adventure with a lot less bloodshed.

Dragons have returned to Krynn. But with their arrival comes the departure of the old gods—and all healing magic. When Tanis, Sturm, Caramon, Raistlin, Flint, and Tasslehoff see a woman use a blue crystal staff to heal a villager, they wonder if it's a sign the gods have not abandoned them after all. A new religious order wants the staff for their own ends, believing it will help them replace the gods and overtake the continent. Now, the Companions must assume the unlikely roles of heroes if they hope to prevent the staff from falling into the hands of darkness. Show less
