I am respected in Leafshire Cove because I perform magic exactly the way it should be performed—with a witch's intuition.

An arrogant, foolish minotaur with a ridiculously posh accent sets up shop right beside me. And even though his magic is only a mishmash of tacky illusions and over-the-top displays, townsfolk flock to him. Infuriating.

I was the epitome of control. Cocky. Powerful. Ruthless. Until the day Savvy King swaggered into our world. She defied me at every turn, refusing to yield to my command.

In his bed. With him. While I'm trying to choose a mate from among a handful of candidates who barely seem interested in me. There's enough chemistry between us to light a fire, but he's not an option.
