A girl who unravels magic. A boy made of secrets. A bargain neither can afford to break.

But as their uneasy alliance ignites into something more, love may become the most reckless magic of all.

Iris Everhart has spent her life training to become a perfect fairy godmother, bound by rules and tradition. Her first royal assignment? Helping a cynical prince believe in true love. But when a wish goes wrong, she and Prince Wesley find themselves magically bound together—forced to confront not only a kingdom-threatening darkness but the undeniable connection growing between them.

A heartwarming, romantic fantasy full of forbidden magic, destiny-defying love, and the courage to rewrite fate.
