Synopsis

Evie Sage has been given a job she does not remember applying for: adversary to the villain. She has always tried to be helpful and loyal, and only mildly involved in treason, so the new title sits badly with her.

In the kingdom of Rennedawn, a dangerous prophecy threatens the realm's magic. Evie has to find the artifacts the magic depends on before King Benedict gets to them. The prophecy keeps pointing at her, and the Villain's magic keeps choosing her. Since she is going to be accused of evil anyway, Evie decides she may as well lean into it.

That plan has a complication in her boss, Trystan. He is standing closer to her than is wise or professional, and he looks at her as though she has already picked a side, his. If Evie cannot save the kingdom's magic, she may become the greatest danger it faces.

This is a fantasy romance with a comic, workplace-flavored voice, told in the third person. The humor is dry and the stakes are real, with a slow-burning pull between Evie and Trystan running through the quest. It is a later installment in a series, with a concluding volume still to come.
