Sorcery and Small Magics, The Wildersongs Book 1 By Maiga Doocy

In *A Spell of Rivalry*, debut author Maiga Doocy crafts a whimsical adventure featuring Leovander Loveage, a quirky sorcerer known for his minor magical talents, and his insufferable rival, Sebastian Grimm. Leovander can summon butterflies and turn hair pink with a snap, but after a disastrous encounter with a forbidden spell, he finds himself magically bound to Sebastian, who commands his every move. The two rivals are as different as night and day—while Leovander is impulsive and underestimated, Sebastian is a highly respected master of powerful magic, making their forced partnership all the more unbearable.

With their magical careers on the line, the duo embarks on a treacherous quest into the Unquiet Wood, a perilous forest teeming with murderous creatures and outlaws. Their mission: to locate a legendary sorcerer rumored to possess the key to a counterspell. As they navigate the dangers of the forest, the tension between them begins to shift, revealing unexpected depths to their rivalry.

Amidst the chaos, sparks of attraction flicker, complicating their dynamic as they grapple with their growing feelings while trying to break the curse that binds them. Leo must confront his fears about powerful magic, while Sebastian must learn to see beyond his cold exterior. Together, they discover that sometimes, the greatest magic lies not in spells, but in the connections forged through adversity. This enchanting tale blends humor, adventure, and romance, inviting readers into a world where rivalry can lead to something beautifully unexpected. 📚❤️
