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. Such minor charms don't earn him much admiration from other sorcerers (or his father), but anything more elaborate always blows up in his face. Which is why Leo vowed years ago to never again write powerful magic. That is, until a mix-up involving a forbidden spell binds Leo to obey the commands of his longtime nemesis, Sebastian Grimm. Grimm is Leo's complete opposite - respected, exceptionally talented, and an absolutely insufferable curmudgeon. The only thing they agree on is that getting caught using forbidden magic would mean the end of their 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. To dissolve the curse, they'll 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.

Zauberei und etwas MagieEin unfreiwilliges Abenteuer, ein verfluchter Zauber und zwei Rivalen, die vielleicht mehr gemeinsam haben, als sie dachten Leovander Loveage hat sich auf die kleinen Magien spezialisiert: eine Melodie, die Schmetterlinge herbeiruft, ein Fingerschnippen, das Haare pink farbt harmlose, charmante Zauber, die ihm zwar wenig Respekt einbringen, dafur aber kaum schiefgehen. Denn eines hat Leo uber die Jahre gelernt: Gro e Magie fuhrt nur zu gro em Chaos. Doch genau so ein Chaos passiert ihm nun und das ausgerechnet mit seinem grummeligen Rivalen Sebastian Grimm. Durch ein missglucktes Zauberexperiment ist Leo nun gezwungen, Grimms Befehlen zu gehorchen. Ein Albtraum fur beide, denn sie konnen sich kaum in einem Raum ertragen, geschweige denn zusammenarbeiten. Doch eine Losung muss her, sonst ist ihre magische Karriere ruiniert. Ihre Suche nach einem Gegenzauber fuhrt sie in den Unruhigen Wald, wo nicht nur uralte Magie, sondern auch allerlei seltsame und gefahrliche Gestalten lauern. Doch zwischen all den Fluchen und Wundern, zwischen magischen Pannen und hitzigen Wortgefechten, beginnt etwas zu passieren, das keiner von ihnen erwartet hat Ein warmherziger, augenzwinkernder Fantasy-Roman uber Zauberei, Schicksal und das unerwartete Knistern zwischen zwei Rivalen.
