Description

Queen Saskia has fought too hard for her throne to lose it now.

After overthrowing her cruel uncle, the feared sorceress is determined to protect her kingdom from a powerful neighboring empire. Between brewing dangerous spells and defending her borders, she has little patience for organizing the magical library that's fallen into complete disarray.

When a mysterious wandering wizard arrives at her castle, Saskia hires him as her new librarian without hesitation. Thoughtful, charming, and endlessly curious, "Fabian" quickly brings order to the library—and unexpected warmth to the queen's carefully guarded heart. His strange questions and flirtatious poetry only make him more intriguing.

But Fabian is hiding a dangerous secret.

He's not a wizard at all, but an Imperial archduke living under a false identity while fleeing enemies of his own. As political tensions rise and hidden truths come to light, the growing bond between Saskia and Fabian could unite two opposing worlds—or destroy everything they've fought to protect.

Filled with enchanting magic, witty banter, and slow-burning romance, Wooing the Witch Queen is a cozy romantasy where love may prove to be the most powerful spell of all.
