About This Audiobook
After decades of wielding her sword as a fearsome bounty hunter, Viv the orc decides to pursue an entirely different kind of adventure: opening a coffee shop in the fantasy city of Thune. The challenge proves more daunting than any monster she's faced, as the locals have never heard of coffee and suspicious forces from her violent past threaten to derail her peaceful new venture. As Viv struggles to transform from warrior to entrepreneur, she discovers that building a business requires its own form of courage and that creating community might be harder than she imagined.
Author Travis Baldree brings remarkable warmth and authenticity to his own narration, delivering each character with distinct personality while maintaining the story's cozy, intimate atmosphere. His performance captures both Viv's gruff exterior and growing vulnerability as she navigates unfamiliar territory, while his voices for the supporting cast feel lived-in and genuine. The audio format perfectly suits this character-driven tale, allowing listeners to savor the gentle pacing and rich descriptive passages that make the coffee shop feel like a place worth visiting repeatedly.
