She just wanted to save her mom's diner. Destiny had other plans for her.
Marron never dreamed of becoming a legendary chef. She just wanted a food cart, a few satisfied customers, and maybe a life that didn’t break her.
But when her cooking starts stirring emotions too vividly—calming grief, reviving forgotten joy—the Guild takes notice. Now she’s swept into a trial meant to test the limits of her abilities… or contain them.
Each dish she serves shapes more than flavor—it nudges memories, shifts moods, and, if she’s not careful, reveals secrets she didn’t mean to tell.
Beneath the gleaming marble of the Guild’s kitchens lies a buried legacy: a vanished chef whose recipes were strong enough to resurrect the dying. And Marron may be the only one who can finish what she started.
The cooking system rewards flavor, but punishes failure.
The Guild watches her like a hawk.
And something inside her is waking up—with every bite she serves.
