![]() ![]() Saffron offered to take any job at the palace, just to be closer to Danny. Now the royal pastry chef, Danny is confined to his kitchens, not permitted to see or even communicate with Saffron. They’ve also kidnapped Saffron’s husband Danny, a gifted pastry baker, because of his ability to magically infuse his confections with the ability to evoke memories. But meanwhile he and his soldiers have terrorized the entire kingdom, murdering or imprisoning those who try to stand against them. There is no doubt in anyone’s mind that the Duke, who everyone calls the Evil King, plans to usurp the throne in the near future. Saffron is one of the official food tasters for Duke Michal, the regent for an infant prince. Review first posted on Fantasy Literature: Nebula nominee for best novelette in 2018! 4.5 stars for this excellent Tor fantasy story, free online here at Tor.com. ![]()
