Delemhach Livres

When Finlay Ashowan joins the kitchen of the King and Queen of Daxaria, he's an enigma. Which suits Fin just fine. He's satisfied simply serving as the royal cook, keeping nosy passersby out of his kitchen, and concocting some truly scrumptious meals. But Fin has a secret, one that may not stay hidden for long . . . As his past begins to catch up with him, Fin must negotiate court politics and stay out of trouble, together with his familiar, the fluffy black kitten, Kraken. But things become even more complicated when he catches the eye of a certain lady who just so happens to be part of the royal court. Can Fin successfully hide his secret and protect his heart? Or will the chaos of the castle and its good-hearted people get the best of him?

"When Finlay Ashowan joins the staff of the King and Queen of Daxaria, he's an enigma. No one knows where he comes from or how he came to be where he is, which suits Fin just fine. He's satisfied simply serving as the royal cook, keeping nosy passersby out of his kitchen, and concocting some truly uncanny meals. But Fin's secret identity doesn't stay hidden for long. After all, it's not every day a house witch and his kitten familiar, Kraken, take to meddling in imperial affairs. As his powers are gradually discovered by the court, Fin finds himself involved in a slew of intrigues: going head-to-head with knights with less-than-chivalrous intentions, helping to protect the pregnant queen, fending off the ire of the royal mage, and uncovering a spy in the castle. And that's only the beginning--because Fin's past is catching up with him just as his love life is getting complicated..."

Finlay Ashowan navigates the complexities of love, home, and royal duties in this enchanting sequel. As a house witch, she faces challenges that intertwine her personal desires with the responsibilities of her kingdom, blending whimsical elements with romantic undertones.

Between his work for the King and Queen of Daxaria and a new (secret) relationship with Lady Annika Jenoure, Fin's life is anything but tidy. Annika is being forced from the castle after there are threats to her safety. All the while tension is brewing with Troivack and war seems to draw ever closer. As if he doesn't have enough on his plate, Fin is soon promoted from cook to spy and sent into the city of Austice where he must sleuth out the plans of the Troivackian troops allegedly hidden there. However, an unwelcome visitor is about to knock on his door, and Fin's world starts to unravel . . .
