SORCERY AND SMALL MAGICS
From debut author Maiga Doocy comes the charming tale of an impulsive sorcerer and his curmudgeonly rival as they must venture deep into a magical forest in desperate search of the counterspell that can break the curse binding them to each other - only to discover that magic might not be the only thing pulling them together.
Leovander Loveage is a master of small magics.
He can summon butterflies with a song, or turn someone's hair pink by snapping his fingers. Such minor charms don't earn him much admiration from other sorcerers (or his father), but anything more elaborate always blows up in his face. Which is why Leo vowed years ago to never again write powerful magic.
That is, until a mix-up involving a forbidden spell binds Leo to obey the commands of his longtime nemesis, Sebastian Grimm. Grimm is Leo's complete opposite - respected, exceptionally talented, and an absolutely insufferable curmudgeon. The only thing they agree on is that getting caught using forbidden magic would mean the end of their careers. They need a counterspell, and fast. But Grimm casts spells, he doesn't undo them, and Leo doesn't mess with powerful magic.
Chasing rumors of a powerful sorcerer with a knack for undoing curses, Leo and Grimm enter the Unquiet Wood, a forest infested with murderous monsters and dangerous outlaws alike. To dissolve the curse, they'll have to uncover the true depths of Leo's magic, set aside their long-standing rivalry, and - much to their horror - work together.
Even as an odd spark of attraction flares between them.
Maiga Doocy is a fantasy author from New England. She lives in a house where the people are outnumbered by cats, has a serious tea habit, and loves sad songs. She likes to write stories that are full of bittersweet longing and as much unexplainable magic as she can get away with.
