Brief Description:
Featuring stunning turquoise sprayed edges! In a Gaslamp-lit world where
hags and ogres lurk in thick pine forests, three magical queens form an
uneasy alliance to protect their lands from invasion…and love turns their
world upside down. Queen Saskia is the wicked sorceress everyone fears.
After successfully wrestling the throne from her evil uncle, she only wants
one thing: to keep her people safe from the empire next door. For that, she
needs to spend more time in her laboratory experimenting with her spells.
She definitely doesn’t have time to bring order to her chaotic library of
magic. When a mysterious dark wizard arrives at her castle, Saskia hires
him as her new librarian on the spot. “Fabian” is sweet and a little nerdy,
and his requests seem a little strange – what in the name of Divine Elva is
a fountain pen? – but he’s getting the job done. And if he writes her
flirtatious poetry and his innocent touch makes her skin singe, well…
Little does Saskia know that the “wizard” she’s falling for is actually an
Imperial archduke in disguise, with no magical training whatsoever. On the
run, with perilous secrets on his trail and a fast growing yearning for the
wicked sorceress, he’s in danger from her enemies and her newfound allies,
too. When his identity is finally revealed, will their love save or doom
each other? “Stephanie Burgis is a fresh new voice and I can’t wait to see
what she does next.” —Ilona Andrews, #1 New York Times bestselling author
