Wooing the Witch Queen by Stephanie Burgis is the start of a delightful funny and seductive
romantasy trilogy set in a gaslamp-lit world where hags and ogres lurk in thick pine forests
and genteel court intrigues can turn deadly . . . 'This is a warm and lovely story with a big
heart' - Sangu Mandanna bestselling author of The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches
Queen Saskia is the wicked sorceress everyone fears. After successfully wrestling the throne
from her evil uncle she only wants one thing: to keep her people safe from the empire next
door. For that she needs to spend more time in her laboratory experimenting with her spells.
She definitely doesn't have time to bring order to her chaotic library of magic. When a
mysterious dark wizard arrives at her castle Saskia hires him as her new librarian on the
spot. 'Fabian' is sweet and a little nerdy and his requests seem a little strange - what in
the name of Divine Elva is a fountain pen? - but he's getting the job done. And if he writes
her flirtatious poetry and his innocent touch makes her skin singe well . . . Little does
Saskia know that the 'wizard' she's falling for is actually an Imperial archduke in disguise
with no magical training whatsoever. On the run he's in danger from Saskia's enemies and her
new-found allies too. So when Saskia finally discovers the truth will their love save them -
or be their doom? 'Stephanie Burgis is a fresh new voice and I can't wait to see what she
does next' - Ilona Andrews No. 1 New York Times bestselling author of the Kate Daniels series
