From debut author Maiga Doocy comes the charming tale of an impulsive sorcerer and his curmudgeonly rival as they must venture deep into a magical forest in desperate search of the counterspell that can break the curse binding them to each other-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, but anything more elaborate simply blows up in his face. But minor charms are easily overlooked by well-versed sorcerers, leaving Leo to vow to never cast powerful magic again.
That is, until 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. They need a counterspell and fast, but seeking help means revealing the magic that binds them and the only thing the rivals can agree on is that they must avoid being caught using forbidden magic at all costs or risk ending their magical careers for good.
When rumors of a powerful sorcerer with a knack for undoing curses sparks hope, 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. Maiga Doocy lives in a house where the people are outnumbered by cats, has a serious tea habit, and loves sad songs. She likes to write stories that are full of bittersweet longing and as much unexplainable magic as she can get away with. Sorcery and Small Magics is her debut novel. "With a vibrantly imagined world and characters that leap off the page, Sorcery and Small Magics positively sparkles with wit and charm. It's a light-hearted tale of friendship, forgiveness, magic and love. Much like Doocy's opposites-attract heroes, Leo and Grimm, this book sings, leaving you spellbound and wanting more."-Julie Leong, author of The Teller of Small Fortunes "Sorcery and Small Magics smoulders like spell-paper, set aflame by its singular enchanted setting, a spirited violin soundtrack and plenty of charming chaos. The hesitant care that Leo and Grimm show each other as they work to dispel a genuinely terrifying curse is heart-warming."-Sylve Cathrall, author of A Letter to the Luminous Deep "As sparkling and delicious as enchanted champagne, Sorcery and Small Magics is full of wit, joy and real heart. I loved it!"-Stephanie Burgis, author of Scales and Sensibility
