Journey afar to a secret baking contest-and win the wish of your heart.
Armed with a stolen gingerbread recipe, ornery wizard (and former duck) Ansgar sets out to compete in a contest unlike any other. The prize? A single wish. Three years after fleeing the witch's forest, his strength and magic are vanishing-and he's counting on the enchanted recipe that once beguiled Hansel and Gretel to fend off his death.
Meanwhile, newly widowed Josephine receives an invitation to the same contest . With a cat-who she believes is her bespelled late husband-in tow, she embarks on a journey to save herself from destitution and, perhaps, her husband from feline form. If she fails, at least she'll have one grand adventure to remember.
When fate throws the unlikely pair together, Ansgar's plans crumble faster than a stale biscuit. He's allergic to cats, exasperated by Josephine's chatter-and utterly undone by her kindness. Together, they'll face fiery trials, raging rivers, dubious soup, and the greatest challenge of all: the bake-off for the wish that could change everything.
The Gingerbread Thief is book two in The Gingerbread Legacy duology by award-winning author Carrie Anne Noble. An enchanting adventure full of heart, laughter, and slow-burn romance-perfect for fans of Sarah Beth Durst, Heather Fawcett, and T. Kingfisher.
Take one crusty wizard, add sweetness in the form of a middle-aged widow, combine them into one shared quest to win a wish, and the result is a delightful confection of a tale. The Gingerbread Thief will steal your heart!-award-winning fantasy author Amber Kirkpatrick
A fantastical fairy tale brimming with quirky characters, fun banter, and unexpected adventure. I could practically smell the gingerbread! A cozy, heartwarming read.-award-winning author Becca Wierwille
