Wishing Shelf Book Awards - WINNER

A dark fae uprising. A dashing fae wizard. And a growing anti-magic movement. Are Mara’s blades sharp enough to cut through such a tangled web?

By day, Mara runs a clockwork toyshop. By night, she spies for the resistance. The last thing Mara needs is a ridiculously handsome fae to train in customer service and spy craft.

Arnesto is persistent, bedazzling, and a twelfth-level fae wizard. He also casts spells in all the wrong places, talks more than he listens, and manages to get himself arrested. Mara is giving the incompetent fae one more chance to prove himself.

When a fresh threat imperils both the human and fae realms, Mara and Arnesto must fight together. But are swords, magic, and a scrap of prophecy enough to save the kingdom?
