Wooing the Witch Queen

Wooing the Witch Queen by Stephanie Burgis is a spellbinding romantasy filled with irresistible magic, intrigue, and sizzling chemistry—perfect for fans of The Nightmare Before Kissmas and Assistant to the Villain.

In a Gaslamp-lit world teeming with hags, ogres, and enchanted forests, three magical queens form an uneasy alliance to protect their lands from invasion. Among them, Queen Saskia is a formidable sorceress, feared by many after seizing the throne from her cruel uncle. All she wants now is to fortify her kingdom—and spend more time in her laboratory perfecting spells, not organizing her chaotic library of magic.

Enter Fabian, a mysterious dark wizard who appears at her castle just in time. Saskia hires him as her new librarian, drawn to his sweet, nerdy charm—and the flirtatious poetry he pens just for her. But Fabian has a secret: he’s actually an Imperial archduke in disguise, utterly magicless and on the run.

As enemies close in and passions ignite, Fabian’s true identity threatens to shatter their growing bond. Will love conquer deception, or will their forbidden romance spell their doom?

Brimming with witty banter, lush world-building, and heart-racing romance, The Wicked Bargain is perfect for fans of fantasy rom-coms, magical intrigue, and villainous love stories!
