About The Gemmy Egg: A Fantasy Story for the Culinarily Inclined (How to Cook a River Dragon)
Pryscilla is lost. After finding herself lost in a mythical land, Ms. Pryscilla Roylott has only one goal: to get back home. However, that may not be as simple as she could wish. The horrifying stories she’s heard of Angoria were not tall tales, after all, but, if anything, fell short of the truth: a countryside full of griffins, dragons, mermaids, and some creatures even the locals dare not speak of. Their culture is built on the art of vittellurgy—coaxing magical ingredients into dishes that grant the eater powers for a short time. A handsome, yet mysterious, practitioner of this art is her only hope of getting home, but to do this, he must win the ingredients he needs at the famed Chef Bazaar. Can she help him advance for their mutual benefit? Does he perhaps have his own, less savoury priorities? And how is he connected to the strange creature that showed up the same night she did? Between the questions surrounding her host and the perils that loom in every corner of this extraordinary world, distance is not her only barrier to finally getting home.
