Only a king can banish sorcerers and strip enchanters of their power. Only a king is immune to spells and potions. Only a king knows the truth behind the legends. Until now. Magic Collector Devryn Ashby may have deserved the curse that saps his magic-manipulating abilities, but it certainly won't help him with the task King Reginald has assigned him. Instead of allowing him to continue hunting for those who stole the powerful Enchanter's List, the king makes Devryn trainer-in-magic to the mischievous enchantress Lady Meredith Lofton. Except for an occasional matchmaking exploit, Lady Meredith has little use for her power of enchantment-until the king asks her to train in magical warfare techniques. This both excites and terrifies her. And irks her, for she refuses to be bossed around by the critical Devryn Ashby, a man she's not even sure she should trust. But as dangers increase and the sorcerers' schemes unfold, Devryn and Meredith must choose whom to follow-their own desires and prejudices or their king. Only a king knows how much the kingdom depends on their choice. THE KING'S SPELL, Realm and Wand book 1, is a YA Christian fantasy series with a "Jane Austen romance meets fantasy adventure" feel. It is part of the Magic Collectors story world.

A new epic fantasy series from the New York Times bestselling author chosen to complete Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time® Series

Piers Anthony’s bestselling Xanth series is one of the cornerstones of fantasy, a lively and whimsical interpretation of a genre often criticized for taking itself too seriously. Anthony’s first Xanth novel, A Spell for Chameleon, was initially edited to target a more traditional audience. Now, in an eBook exclusive, A Spell for Chameleon has been reworked line by line—its language matching the simpler, playful way with words that made Piers Anthony an enduring fan favorite. Xanth is an enchanted land where magic rules, a land of centaurs and dragons and basilisks where every citizen has a unique spell to call their own. For Bink of North Village, however, Xanth is no fairy tale. He alone has no magic. And unless he gets some—and fast!—he will be exiled. Forever. But the Good Magician Humfrey is convinced that Bink does indeed have magic. In fact, both Beauregard the genie and the magic wall chart insist that Bink has magic as powerful as any possessed by the King, the Good Magician Humfrey, or even the Evil Magician Trent. Be that as it may, no one can fathom the nature of Bink’s very special magic. This is even worse than having no magic at all . . . and he still faces exile!

Practically a prisoner, Kihrin discovers that being a long-lost prince is nothing like what the storybooks promised. The storybooks have lied about a lot of other things, too: dragons, demons, gods, prophecies, and how the hero always wins. Then again, maybe he isn't the hero after all. For Kihrin is not destined to save the world. He's destined to destroy it.
