About The Inn at the Foot of Mount Vengence

A young aspiring scholar is sent to research the mysteries of an adventurer’s inn—only to uncover a centuries-old secret, while finding true friendship and a new home, in this heartwarming cozy fantasy.

Mount Vengeance is legendary. For most, it’s an adventure or a quest to prove themselves worthy of fame and glory. For Ainsworth Gladsly, it’s the perfect thesis material.

Ainsworth is an ambitious research fellow and up-and-coming historian, finally ready to make his mark on the world. When his supervisor learns of the rumored Misnich Inn at the foot of Mount Vengeance, she sends Ainsworth to be the first to document the exploits of the bold adventurers who seek to face the perils of the mountain and the dragon said to inhabit it.

The inn is far from the sophisticated city life he’s grown to love, but even as he grudgingly warms to its rustic charm—and its lovely innkeeper, Honey—the mystery of the mountain refuses to reveal itself. Worse, Ainsworth can’t find evidence that anyone has ever undertaken the climb. Even the bravest warriors who stay at the inn turn away from Mount Vengeance the next day.

With Ainsworth’s reputation on the line, he can’t allow this mystery to remain unsolved—even if he has to push the adventurers up the mountain himself.

The Inn at the Foot of Mount Vengeance

This book is such a sweet look at a researcher who is WAY outside of his comfort zone and the people that befriend him when he is forced to go on an expedition to research why no one has ever successfully killed the dragon on Mount Vengeance.

I love found family stories and this is absolutely a found family story with a hint of romance bundled up in a cozy inn at the foot of a mountain.

If you enjoyed Legends and Lattes by Travis Baldree, You Can’t Spell Treason Without Tea by Rebecca Thorne, or The Spellshop by Sarah Beth Durst, you’ll love The Inn at the Foot of Mount Vengeance.
