USA TODAY BESTSELLER • A wandering fortune teller finds an unexpected family in this cozy fantasy debut, hailed as “perfection…a beautiful treasure of a book that will warm your heart and heal your soul.”—Sarah Beth Durst, Author of The Spellshop

“The warmest, loveliest book I’ve read in ages.”—Sangu Mandanna, author of The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches

Tao is an immigrant fortune teller, traveling between villages with just her trusty mule for company. She only tells "small" fortunes: whether it will hail next week; which boy the barmaid will kiss; when the cow will calve. She knows from bitter experience that big fortunes come with big consequences…

Even if it’s a lonely life, it’s better than the one she left behind. But a small fortune unexpectedly becomes something more when a (semi) reformed thief and an ex-mercenary recruit her into their desperate search for a lost child. Soon, they’re joined by a baker with a "knead" for adventure, and—of course—a slightly magical cat.

Tao starts down a new path with companions as big-hearted as her fortunes are small. But as she lowers her walls, the shadows of her past close in—and she’ll have to decide whether to risk everything to preserve the family she never thought she could have.

Not usually a fantasy reader.

Once you get used to the narrator's voice, this story is very enjoyable. The fantasy/magic in this work is not overwhelming;very believable. The story line is relatable. Nothing too dark. Lots of feel goods as that is the kind of literature I enjoy.

Enjoyable Adventure

I was looking for my next book choice and this title popped up. After reading the description, I took a chance on it and ended up enjoying every minute. This haphazard group of charming characters take a chance on each other and come out better for it. I needed a comforting book and this one is both warm and inviting, but full of adventure and intrigue. I’m looking forward to more from this author. Thank you - I loved truly love it. I miss the ride already!

Best book ever!!!4

Wonderful cozy fantasy

Endearing characters, wonderful world! I thoroughly enjoyed this book! And I highly recommend with a cup of hot tea.

Heartwarming story

This story was like a cup of warm cider on a cold fall day… or a hug from an acquaintance you actually like… a good hug. I am normal a Grimdark and Epic Fantasy type of guy… but good lord this story was so heartwarming, sincere, and refreshing… I absolutely loved it!
