Perfect for you if...

You enjoy fantasy that prioritises character development and friendship over saving the world.
You want adventure with genuine stakes but without the grimdark tone or graphic violence.
You appreciate stories where older protagonists get their moment to shine rather than fade into the background.

Maybe not for you if...

You're looking for epic battles, political intrigue, or world-ending conflicts.
You prefer fast-paced action throughout rather than slower, reflective moments between scenes.
You need morally grey characters; Dobbin and his allies are fundamentally decent people.

About this book

Dobbin Thornhill is an experienced adventurer with a formidable reputation, though age has brought both wisdom and back pain. His latest assignment involves retrieving a rare and mystical dragonfire mushroom for one of Eastborne's secret societies, which requires venturing into Hells' Crag—a dragon-ruined city still inhabited by restless spirits centuries after its destruction. While Dobbin has built his career on solo adventures, this particular job demands he work with others. Doing so means confronting his past and discovering strength through unexpected alliances. In a land of shadows, trust becomes his greatest risk. Sword & Thistle is part of Tales of Aedrea, a series of standalone cozy fantasy adventures set within an epic, high-fantasy world. This novel features animal companions, found family, and a low-stakes quest through haunted ruins.
