Book Overview

Wretched Mage: A Fantasy Romance Novel with forced proximity, forbidden love and witches
Book 1 of 1: Mages of Anglia
Every crime must be answered for: in sentence, in virtue, or in heartbreak.

Jane Darling has no magic and no business venturing into mage territory. But after she's caught trespassing across their forbidden lands, she's sentenced to serve under the unforgiving eye of the Mage Lord himself, Reagan.

With her family’s livelihood hanging by a thread, Jane must rely on the estate’s staff to secure vital trade agreements while defending herself against supernatural beasts and a centuries-old Order steeped in prejudice and violence against her kind.

But as the stakes heighten and the undeniable attraction between Jane and Reagan intensifies, she must decipher the rules of magic and rely on her unrelenting wit to face magical threats, political intrigue, and the dangerous pull of a man she’s not supposed to want.
