Description

Clutch your broomstick, The Magicless Mage is a dark and twisted Wizard of Oz retelling. This spellbinding tale through time features unhinged characters, insatiable yearning, and diabolical twists.

The year is 2617. Librarian Winter Leroux is a witch working the night shift at Caldwell Archives. Using her wand, she protects the inventory from vampires—master thieves. One evening she misses her mark. In a rush to save an ancient book, she unlocks a sentient spell, catapulting her seven hundred years into the past.

She learns the Witch Queen can help her get back to the future, but trapped in another time, she needs help finding the palace.

The year is 1917. Westley Sterling is an alpha with werewolves to protect. When an unfamiliar witch tumbles into his woods, he tries to kill her, but she’s a master of seduction and equally resilient. He’s ashamed of his aching attraction towards her. When she exposes a wicked secret beyond his evergreens, he takes her to see the Witch Queen.

En route to the palace, their walls crumble and tension builds. Westley shifts from wanting to be Winter’s enemy into wanting her to stay. Beyond the gates, twists unravel, weaving both their fates.

Will Winter make it home after all?
