Mage Bride

She’s a powerful mage. He’s a hardened warrior. It will take them both to slay a monster.

Phera is a protector. As one of the water mages from the esteemed Academy of Mages who maintains law and order, she’s known for being clever and resourceful, if a touch overzealous. But faced with a deadly foe, Phera makes a costly mistake. Blood magic is forbidden, no matter the outcome. She’s brought to trial and offered a choice: give up magic or venture into the perilous lands of the ice warriors to aid them on a quest.

Without hesitation, she chooses the quest, only to discover she’s not meant to act as merely a protector.

She’s intended to be an ice lord’s bride.

The last thing Lord Rhyme wants is a bride, and certainly not a treacherous mage. There’s a reason they were outlawed from the ice lands, after all. But Rhyme has a demon to fight. The women of his clan have gone missing, and it appears the only way to win them back is by offering a sacrifice: a mage bride.

Rhyme wants no part of the deception. But he can’t turn his back on his clan.

Burdened with secrets and their mutual distrust, Phera and Rhyme must put aside their differences—and their budding attraction toward one another—to find the missing women.

The truth they uncover is far darker than either could have imagined.

This standalone romantasy is perfect for readers in search of a fast-paced, epic adventure with swoony romance, intriguing mystery, loyal friendships and unique magic.
