– Captain Zafira Zay, one bad-ass female captain of a pirate ship – Master Joris, the evil mage, who turned out to be even eviler than I expected! – Willem, the blacksmith’s son/apprentice, who becomes Bee’s best friend – There’s Master Bouts, the typical hard working, good natured fatherly type
– Princess Anika is very princess-like, but also brave and not afraid to stain her dress – Bee’s a tomboy with a brave, strong will (and magical powers!)
When it turns out Aradyn is slowly being destroyed by Master Joris’ selfishness, Bee sets out on a quest to save the country. He turns out to be pretty evil and cares for nothing but his tulips. Ever since, Anika has been fostered by her guardian, Master Joris, the Kingdom’s mage. Her father, the king, died in a shipwreck twelve years ago. When Bee has to deliver some sweet treats to the royal castle, she meets Anika, the 16-year-old princess of Aradyn. This seems like minor magic, but imagine what you could do with it! Or just read this book, of course, and you’ll find out as well. Now if someone were to eat the thing you baked while being so frustrated, he/she will get just as frustrated, for no apparent reason. Imagine you’re baking something and getting frustrated because it’s not going as smoothly as you hoped it would (I get this a lot). She also discovers she has a magical power: she can bake emotions into her cakes! While learning to bake, she discovers she’s a natural at it.
Instead of hauling her off to jail, the baker, Master Bouts, offers her a place to stay at his shop, where she can work in order to pay back for the stolen bun. Being on the brink of starvation, she steals a bun from a bakery. Baking and magic…I was born to read this!īee (short for Beatrix) is an orphan wandering the kingdom of Aradyn. When I saw this book on NetGalley, I didn’t have to think twice about requesting it. Expected publication: February 1st, 2016 by Capstone (US) and Curious Fox (UK)
