AN INSTANT USA TODAY BESTSELLER

A wandering fortune teller finds an unexpected family in this warm and wonderful debut fantasy, perfect for fans of Travis Baldree and Sangu Mandanna.

Tao is an immigrant fortune teller, traveling between villages with just her trusty mule for company. She only tells "small" fortunes: whether it will hail next week; which boy the barmaid will kiss; when the cow will calve. She knows from bitter experience that big fortunes come with big consequences…

Even if it’s a lonely life, it’s better than the one she left behind. But a small fortune unexpectedly becomes something more when a (semi) reformed thief and an ex-mercenary recruit her into their desperate search for a lost child. Soon, they’re joined by a baker with a "knead" for adventure, and—of course—a slightly magical cat.

Tao starts down a new path with companions as big-hearted as her fortunes are small. But as she lowers her walls, the shadows of her past close in—and she’ll have to decide whether to risk everything to preserve the family she never thought she could have.

"The Teller of Small Fortunes is perfection! A lovely and comforting cozy fantasy about finding your own family and choosing your own path, this is a beautiful treasure of a book that will warm your heart and heal your soul. I absolutely loved every second of it!"—Sarah Beth Durst, New York Times bestselling author of The Spellshop

Editorial Review

Signs point to cozy, delightful listening
I’m fully on board with the low-stakes fantasy moment we’re having right now, and so hitting play on this debut was a no-brainer for me. Following Tao, a fortune-teller who specializes in foretelling the mundane, Julie Leong spins a yarn about identity and chosen family. Narrator Phyllis Ho is new to me, and she positively sparkled in this story; her voice is at once buoyant, exuberant, and gentle—so fitting for a cozy fantasy. I challenge you not to grin while listening. —Sam D., Audible Editor

Cozy fantasy at it’s best

The story of a fortune teller who travels from city to city and how she makes friends through her profession. I enjoyed the story and liked how D&D style quests contributed to the characters’ development.
