Only a king can banish sorcerers and strip enchanters of their power. Only a king is immune to spells and potions. Only a king knows the truth behind the legends. Until now. Magic Collector Devryn Ashby may have deserved the curse that saps his magic-manipulating abilities, but it certainly won't help him with the task King Reginald has assigned him. Instead of allowing him to continue hunting for those who stole the powerful Enchanter's List, the king makes Devryn trainer-in-magic to the mischievous enchantress Lady Meredith Lofton. Except for an occasional matchmaking exploit, Lady Meredith has little use for her power of enchantment-until the king asks her to train in magical warfare techniques. This both excites and terrifies her. And irks her, for she refuses to be bossed around by the critical Devryn Ashby, a man she's not even sure she should trust. But as dangers increase and the sorcerers' schemes unfold, Devryn and Meredith must choose whom to follow-their own desires and prejudices or their king. Only a king knows how much the kingdom depends on their choice. THE KING'S SPELL, Realm and Wand book 1, is a YA Christian fantasy series with a "Jane Austen romance meets fantasy adventure" feel. It is part of the Magic Collectors story world.
