Dryad's Book of the Month for September 2025
Signed bookplate included
 
The instant Sunday Times bestseller from Rebecca Thorne. Can't Spell Treason Without Tea is a heart-warming, sapphic journey brimming with jeopardy, magic and tea – for fans of Travis Baldree's Legends & Lattes and TJ Klune.

Two women wanted to open a cosy bookshop. They discovered a world of adventure.

Reyna and Kianthe dream of opening a friendly bookshop together, serving the very best tea and cakes. Worn wooden floors, plants on every table, firelight drifting between the rafters – all complemented by love and good company.

But Reyna is an elite bodyguard to a vengeful queen, and Kianthe is the most powerful mage in existence. Leaving their lives behind seems . . . impossible. Yet they flee to Tawney, a town nestled in the icy peaks of dragon country. There, they open the bookshop they’d always wanted.

What follows is a tale of mishaps, mysteries, dragons and a murderous queen throwing the realm’s biggest temper tantrum. Through it, these two women will discover what they mean to each other – and their world.
