Tales of the Mistress invites readers into the hidden world of the Psomi Mistresses, women bound to trees, grain, and ancient rites.

This lyrical novel is both a journey and a feast - where love, betrayal, and bread itself hold the key to survival. Perfect for readers who enjoy historical fantasy, mythic retellings, and stories where food is magic, Tales of the Mistress is the first book in The Elysian Legacy series.
