Step into a world where bread is more than sustenance—it is ritual, magic, and power.

In Tales of the Mistress, the first novel in the Elysian Legacy, ancient guilds of bread-mistresses guard secrets of grain and fire that stretch back through centuries. Beneath the kneading hands and rising loaves lies a web of sacrifice, myth, and forbidden knowledge—stories of women who shaped empires as surely as they shaped bread.

From the ovens of Renaissance Europe to whispers carried along trade routes of Jerusalem, Istanbul, and Morocco, each tale reveals how bread binds families, communities, and legacies across time. At the heart of the weaving are the Mistresses themselves—keepers of recipes and rituals, bound by doves, seeds, and the eternal hunger for belonging.

Rich with culinary detail and mythic imagination, Tales of the Mistress is both a journey into history's kitchens and a portal into a fantastical lineage of women whose stories were almost forgotten.

If you love novels that blend food, fantasy, and history with the lyricism of The Night Circus and the timelessness of folktales, this is where the Legacy begins.
