The Teller of Small Fortunes: the most cosy, heart-warming, and comforting fantasy

Julie Leong

Formats & Editions

Family changes everything.

Tao roams the dusty countryside with only her mule for company, telling small fortunes, for small prices. Fleeing a troubled past, she knows big fortunes come with big consequences.

Until one day, when she finds herself joining a desperate search for a lost child. Alongside an ex-mercenary, a (semi) reformed thief, an overly enthusiastic baker and a slightly magical cat, Tao will need to risk everything to save the family she never thought she'd have.

Can her walls finally break down, or will the shadows of her past close in?

A cozy, heart-warming fantasy adventure about trying to find yourself - and finding family instead.
