She’s a kind-hearted teacher nursing a freshly broken heart; he’s her loyal colleague secretly nursing a crush. Their biggest worry? Surviving the last week of school. (Famous last words, am I right?)
Archie Sapnu just wants to get through the end of the school year and maybe, just maybe, forget her ex, Lex (who, by the way, was as deep as a puddle). Garrick Elliott, her fellow teacher and all-around good guy, is mostly trying to pluck up the courage to tell Archie how he really feels. Life on their planet, Latara, is pretty predictable, or so they thought. Then BAM! A cosmic syzygy lights up the sky, and suddenly, Archie’s trusty blender is spouting ancient wisdom (and a fair bit of grumbling) from a trapped magician named Ysroth, while Garrick’s toaster starts dispensing surprisingly calm advice from another wizard, Arvid.
Turns out, ancient magicians are now stuck in household appliances all over the planet, and it’s up to these two unsuspecting teachers to reunite them on sacred ground. Easy peasy, right? (Spoiler: Not even a little bit.) Guided by a gruff wizard in a blender and a serene sage in a toaster, Archie and Garrick must journey across a magically awakening Latara, from the familiar streets of Stellura to the distant, ominous mines of Rumblestone. Along the way, they’ll discover their own latent magical abilities, dodge possessed bicycles, and navigate their complicated feelings for each other — all while Garrick’s alluring ex, Marlo, and her magical mixer, Branwen, threaten to derail everything.
To save the magicians, restore balance to their world, and maybe, find their own happily ever after, Archie and Garrick will need more than just their teaching skills; they’ll need courage, friendship, and a whole lot of magic.
The Blender’s Bargain is the electrifying first adventure in the Appliance Uprising Series. If you love quirky urban fantasy, a dash of Arthurian legend reimagined, laugh-out-loud moments, and romances that simmer amidst chaos, then you’ll be utterly charmed by S. J. Pajonas’s latest enchanting tale.
