Lillie Dean is a baker with magic in her hands and trouble on her doorstep. In S. Usher Evans’ Pobyd Perfections Bakery series, Lillie moves to the coastal town of Silverkeep after the Second Kingside War, looking for a fresh start and a place to open her own bakery. Her baked goods carry a touch of magic, and she quickly finds her footing in the community.
That peaceful new life gets complicated fast. When Lillie receives a threatening note and learns that other magical creatures in town are facing similar intimidation, she decides to investigate. Her curiosity and sharp instincts make her a natural sleuth, even if her first priority is still getting the pastries right.
The series is set in the same world as The Weary Dragon Inn and Firewing Investigations, giving readers a broader view of the setting through Lillie’s eyes. Across 5 books published between 2024 and 2026, Lillie balances the demands of running a bakery with the dangers lurking beneath Silverkeep’s charming surface.
