Lyra Treble thought getting into the Royal Academy of Magical Baking would be the difficult part. It was just the beginning. In a world where magical professions tend to follow family trees, Lyra is an unusual ingredient. Everyone expected her to become a bard, but Lyra proves her love of baking by gaining entrance to the most exclusive, prestigious magical baking academy in 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. Still, with a limited number of slots open for next year, her culinary future is not 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. But with the help of her new family, and a pinch of joy, she might just change that world’s recipe forever.
