Tea with a Minotaur

A Cozy Fantasy Novel

A cozy neurodivergent fantasy. Sometimes, the best adventures come in the form of a good book and the perfect cup of tea. Mahkai, a neurodivergent, bookish minotaur, has never quite fit in with his battle loving clan. He much prefers drinking tea in peace and sketching his ideas and discoveries in his notebooks.

After missing an important family event and nearly destroying a neighboring clan's camp in his pursuit of answers to his never-ending questions, he embarks on a journey to gather honey for his tea rather than face his family's ridicule.

Caught in a storm while out gathering supplies, he stumbles into the cave of an ancient librarian dragon, unleashing a chain reaction of unexpected events. With the help of the dragon, a quirky fairy, a shifter, and a tiny tea-drinking owl, Mahkai learns sometimes family is not what you are born into, but who you choose. Under mounting pressure from his family to return home, Mahkai must choose to accept himself as he is or give up his love of learning and tea and return home to be his father's son.
