Sorcery and Small Magics

By Maiga Doocy

Book Overview

From debut author Maiga Doocy comes the charming tale of an impulsive sorcerer and his curmudgeonly rival as they venture deep into a magical forest in search of a counterspell that can break the curse between them--only to discover that magic might not be the only thing pulling them together.

Leovander Loveage is a master of small magics. He can summon butterflies with a song or turn someone's hair pink by snapping his fingers. Though such minor charms don't earn him much respect, anything more elaborate always blows up in his face, and so Leo vowed long ago never to use powerful magic again.

That is, until a mishap with a forbidden spell binds Leo to obey the commands of his longtime rival, Sebastian Grimm. Grimm is Leo's complete opposite--respected, exceptionally talented, and absolutely insufferable. The only thing they can agree on is that revealing the curse between them would mean the end of their respective magical careers. They need a counterspell, and fast.

Chasing rumors of a powerful sorcerer with a knack for undoing curses, Leo and Grimm enter the Unquiet Wood, a forest infested with murderous monsters and dangerous outlaws alike. To break the curse, they will have to uncover the true depths of Leo's magic, set aside their long-standing rivalry, and--much to their horror--work together.

Even as an odd spark of attraction flares between them.

Customer Reviews

Sorcerer and Small Magics was pretty good

I enjoyed the enemies to lovers relationship between the boys. The story was fun and engaging. The ending was just a little too vague for my taste. Overall nice read.

Incredible magic

I just finished this from the library and loved it so much that I’m going to get my own copy! The story was fantastic and the characters excellent. Their quest was full of unexpected horror and delight and I had trouble putting it down. 10/10, cannot wait for the next one!
