A Batch of Thornberry Syrup is a cozy fantasy about family, freedom, and the taste of something new.

At The Thorn’s Gift inn, Mirren juggles pancakes (much desired by her cheeky squirellurra companion), and simmering batches of thornberry syrup—just another autumn day in Thornberry Vale. With her mother ill and the harvest in full swing, Mirren and her sister Annalira are stretched thin, trying to keep the inn running. A visit from a courier caravan throws new ingredients into the mix, with unexpected results.

A short story set in the Cozy Vales shared world.
