As Fraywell's self-proclaimed villainess, Iris needs a fearsome enforcer. Instead she gets Talon, a half-orc as sweet at the cookies he bakes—and just as irresistible.
Iris Weyward is Fraywell's resident villainess. She knows it; you know it; everybody knows it. Except Talon Gefroy, of course. He was, quite literally, born yesterday.
Iris, a low-level wizard with big aspirations, has always felt the need to prove her evil credentials in the perfectly quaint town of Fraywell. This often leaves her with little time for herself, except for her peculiar hobby: dabbling in reanimation spells.
Enter Talon, a half-orc who met his tragic end in a recent skirmish near town. With his previously fearsome reputation, he seemed the ideal candidate to replace her ogre bodyguard who'd recently vanished on an extended holiday. But when Talon is reanimated, he turns out to be nothing like the warrior she expected. Instead, he's her worst nightmare: a cinnamon roll who bakes cookies for the townspeople and follows her around like a smitten puppy.
Now Iris faces an unprecedented dilemma: should she return Talon to his haunted forest or give in to his adorably infuriating charm?
