Magical Cheese Emporium

Description:

DELUXE EDITION--a gorgeous paperback edition featuring beautiful sprayed edges!

The Magical Cheese Emporium by #1 New York Times bestselling author Sarah Beth Durst is the fourth magical standalone adventure in the series that started with The Spellshop.

When Eloren joined the revolution against the empire, she didn't expect to lose everything--or to find a safe haven in a magical cheese shop.

After the Great Library burned down and her position as Assistant Librarian with it, Eloren had no other choice but to return to the only other home that would have her: her grandmother's shop.

Now, she's stuck at the Magical Cheese Emporium in the remote island town of Dew, struggling to become the small business heiress she never wanted to be. But the unicorns won't let her milk them, there's a monster in the cheese caves, and Eloren is more into books than Brie. The only good thing about coming home is reuniting with Garyn, the childhood friend and clever inventor who, at some point, got a whole lot taller--and handsome.

When Dew's governor imposes impossible taxes on small business owners, Eloren knows one thing: she didn't take down the emperor just so someone else could exploit good people.

Eloren, Garyn, his (mostly) helpful contraptions, and a mouse made of cheese set off to rescue the cheese emporium and all the other local businesses. And in helping to save this community, Eloren might finally realize that home is where the Havarti is.

The Magical Cheese Emporium is a fantasy romance about the places that tell you you're home when everything burns down and daring to see old friends with new eyes. Prepare for hard work, sparkly dreams, and lots of magical cheese.
