There’s only one thing standing between the city of S’kar-Vozi and the Wolf from transforming into an insatiable flesh-hungry werewolf every full moon, the Crane’s perfectly baked and exquisitely designed cakes. But her hands aren’t what they used to be; she needs an apprentice, and only the best will do. Three bakers have been selected to participate in the bake-off of their lives… literally. The prize? A mansion at the very top of the city. The contestants? A school cafeteria cook who over-seasons her over-ripe produce, but at least it looks good. A half-elf whose bakes taste far better than they appear. A halfling with a bone to pick with meat-eaters. The stakes? An overcooked bake could cause Hollis to lose control and eat everyone in the kitchen. A soggy bottom definitely will.
