Why would anyone ever show interest in a quiet, sheltered, passive girl? That’s what Ynith herself would like to know when an unassuming young man makes her the singular object of his considerable affection. Unbeknownst to Ynith, the man turns out to be none other than the Crown Prince Arnsword...also unbeknownst to her is the fact that Arsnword is a powerful young wizard whose fervent goal is to wreak havoc on an unsuspecting planet. As Ynith delves deeper into Arnsword’s dark world, she soon finds herself engaging in the very magic she’s spent her whole life avoiding – but how will she manage when she discovers Arnsword is nothing less than evil incarnate...?

The Wizard King is an intriguing tale of regency romance. In it, author Miranda Mayer does a commendable job of making the reader a captive observer of Ynith’s challenging personal journey. As the young ingénue struggles between her feelings for Arnsword and her responsibility to the world around her, her ongoing internal battles make for quite the page-turning read. Also, the profundity of Mayer’s character development often makes it difficult to reach snap judgments of each player’s actions. Some of the choices they find themselves forced to make are easy to regard from the outside looking in; however, the slightest bit of empathy lent to their predicaments would soften even the most critical of hearts.

The latest standout offering from a proven literary talent, The Wizard King is sure to expand Mayer’s already considerable fan base. A recommended read.
