Trinx came home to change her clan. First, she’ll have to stop hiding behind the bar.
After a year away, Trinx returns to her warren as a transgender goblin woman and lands a job pouring drinks at the Arsonist’s Tender, where she coasts through life behind dark stockings and the creative use of a gelatinous cube. But coasting isn’t the same as living, and Trinx wants more: not just a better life for herself, but for every goblin like her.
Change doesn’t come easy. She hops from scheme to scheme until an alchemist takes her on as an apprentice. Suddenly, potions and elixirs seem to promise everything she’s been reaching for. The catch? To brew the change she really wants, Trinx will have to stop looking only at herself.
When the missing ingredient comes from mending relationships…
With the right mix of ingredients, friends, and a family she forges rather than inherits, Trinx just might build a home better than anything she dared to dream.
Distilled Magic is a low-stakes, slice-of-life cozy fantasy of trans joy, alchemical mishaps, dragonroot tea, and a sweet sapphic friends-to-lovers romance. A story about self-discovery, community, and the quiet power of change

The ending was completely satisfying, and moments earlier in the story all pulled together in ways I hadn’t expected to make a heartwarming, incredibly entertaining story. – Coby Chambers, 5 Stars
Seeing her community open up and support her, and how she supported her community right back… well, I definitely teared up a few times that’s for sure. Trinx the relationship building alchemist! – Mossy Rooted Soil, 5 Stars
This story was wonderfully crafted and the characters feel unique and fit the story well. Trinx is endearing and her journey pulled me in. I love the balance in the story, there was the right amount of conflict and support in my opinion. I love I finished this book in record time. – Amanda, 5 Stars
