Royal Academy of Magical Baking

Lyra thought getting into the academy would be the difficult part, but it's only the beginning, in the first installment of this delicious fantasy series. In a realm where magical professions tend to align within family trees, Lyra Treble is an unusual ingredient. Everyone expected her to follow in her parents' footsteps and become a bard, but she's gained entrance to the Royal Academy of Magical Baking, the most exclusive, prestigious institution of its kind in all the land. The academy is everything Lyra dreamed of and more. She loves the rigorous curriculum, the strict but fair professors, and her new friends-turned-family. But with a limited number of slots open for next year, her culinary future isn't guaranteed-and not everyone believes a musician should be a baker. Now, Lyra must navigate cutthroat competition, betrayal, love triangles, and her own insecurities to find her place in the magical baking world. And with the help of her new family-plus a pinch of joy-she might just change that world's recipe forever. The first volume of the hit cozy fantasy series-with almost 150,000 views on Royal Road-now available in paperback, ebook, and audiobook! Tropes include: coming of age, found family, love triangles, magical school, and beating the odds.

After making it through her first year at the academy-and changing the entire baking world in the process-what challenges will Lyra face in year two? No longer is the world of baking bound to the three traditional disciplines of Flavor, Texture, and Presentation. For the first time in the history of the Royal Academy of Magical Baking, there are four students in the second-year class, and Lyra, with the help of her professors, is pioneering a whole new discipline: Enjoyment. But not everyone in the baking community is happy about these developments . . . The academy board is divided, as are the third- and first-year students, with naysayers searching for any excuse to squash the nascent discipline before it can rise. And as if that wasn't a difficult enough recipe already, life at the academy has a few tricky new ingredients for Lyra. Her relationships with her friends are changing-particularly with one especially handsome individual-and according to the traditional curriculum, year two is all about pastry. Now, in order to conquer their second year, find a new rhythm with one another, and establish Enjoyment as a fully proofed discipline, Lyra and her friends will have to come together like never before. The second volume of the hit cozy fantasy series-with almost 150,000 views on Royal Road-now available in paperback, ebook, and audiobook! Tropes include: coming of age, found family, love triangle, magical school, and beating the odds.
