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 authorAt the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

"Here’s my honest review, it was dead boring up to 50%. Granted the MMC & FMC both had tragic pasts or reasons they chose to avoid ppl, their jobs, or flat out run, but the story kept dragging on and on. It was hard for me to pay attention to the details because there were so many, I didn’t know what was important or what wasn’t or where the story was going. After 50%, the story picks up, it FINALLY got interesting and I was able to grasp at something! I’ve read slow burns before but this was SNAIL slow! For someone with hardly any patience(me) it was close to being DNF-d but I stuck with it!"
