After two decades fighting monsters, chasing bounties, and sleeping rough, orc Viv is ready to retire. So that's exactly what she does: she takes a stone that has mythical powers, finds a space that's ripe for renovation, and starts building a coffee shop with the help of a couple of new friends she makes along the way. And that's pretty much the book. Sure, there are a few stumbling blocks (convincing everyone to try the hot bean-water, sorting out the local mob element without resorting to violence, getting the word out, etc), but yeah, that's basically the book. A blurb on the back refers to this as "high fantasy with low stakes," and I really can't think of a better description. It's cozy, it's fun, and it's even better when enjoyed with a toasty mug of coffee.
