The Wand of Lore: a cozy adventure romance between a witch and a brooding prince (The Witches of Innsbrook Book 1)

The witch who would do anything to save her sick sister. The brooding prince who will win his father’s approval if he captures her. A curse that binds their fates together.

Gwenneth spends her days healing villagers, caring for her sister, and enjoying the solitude of her cozy cottage until the Devil’s Plague changes everything. As the villagers fall sicker, they grow superstitious and wary of the witch. Gwenneth’s sister catches the illness, and she leaves the village and journeys across the kingdom to find her mother’s lost wand, rumored to wield unimaginable power.

She is accompanied by Vaylor, the dark stranger who claims to know his way through the countryside.

Little does she know, Prince Vaylor has been sent by his estranged father to capture Gwenneth and add her to the King’s secret army of witches. But when Vaylor attempts to arrest Gwenneth, he discovers a curse so deadly that he will die without her help.

The two form an uneasy truce as Vaylor agrees to protect her on the journey while Gwenneth promises to remove his curse once she finds the wand. As they travel across Innsbrook’s dangerous countryside, the line between enemy and ally blurs as their bodies betray a yearning for something more.

When they finally reach the castle, they each must face the true cost of their decisions.

Step into the Kingdom of Innsbrook for a fast-paced, enemies-to-lovers, cottagecore adventure as Gwenneth learns the King’s dark secrets while attempting to recover her mother’s lost wand.
