The Arcane Anomalies of the Wizardress Amara Vance Book 1 (Romantasy)

Amara Vance is easily the most powerful wizardress of her generation. She possesses raw, world-shaking arcane magic capable of leveling mountains. It’s just a pity she has the survival instincts of a houseplant and the directional sense of a spinning top.

While embarking on a grand tour of the continent, Amara holds her enchanted map upside down and wanders straight into the Whispering Woods—a forbidden wasteland of blood-drinking trees, lethal beasts, and ancient curses. But instead of panic, Amara is mostly annoyed that the local tourism board hasn't installed proper street lamps.

For three hundred years, the Shadow of Valerius has ruled these woods in absolute, terrifying silence. A primordial entity of pure darkness and cold malice, he intends to instantly slaughter the foolish intruder who dared bring a blinding golden light-spell into his domain.

But when he corners his prey, he doesn’t find a powerful warlord or a desperate archmage. He finds a breathtaking, platinum-blonde siren in torn lavender silk, entirely unbothered by his claws, complaining about the local flora’s lack of manners.

He should kill her. She should run. But when a careless slip brings them body-to-body, their opposing magics collide in a spectacular, intoxicating explosion of raw, carnal heat. Suddenly, the ancient beast doesn’t want to destroy the beautiful, chaotic little wizardress anymore...

He wants to claim her.

"Spells, Stumbles, and Shadows" is the first novelette in The Arcane Anomalies of Amara Vance series. If you love airheaded but overpowered heroines, brooding monster-heroes who would burn the world down for them, and plenty of high-heat, explicit spice, this quick and dirty Romantasy adventure is your next obsession.
