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.

Trapped in horrific circumstances, Rose finds hope in the impossible through the loyalty, bravery, and friendship of her fellow prisoners. But will that be enough to endure the fate that’s in store for her? Elizabeth Wein, author of the critically-acclaimed and best-selling Code Name Verity, delivers another stunning WWII thriller. The unforgettable story of Rose Justice is forged from heart-wrenching courage, resolve, and the slim, bright chance of survival. Praise for Rose Under Fire * “Wein masterfully sets up a stark contrast between the innocent American teen’s view of an untarnished world and the realities of the Holocaust. [A]lthough the story’s action follows [Code Name Verity]’s, it has its own, equally incandescent integrity. Rich in detail, from the small kindnesses of fellow prisoners to harrowing scenes of escape and the Nazi Doctors’ Trial in Nuremburg, at the core of this novel is the resilience of human nature and the power of friendship and hope.” —Kirkus, starred review * “Wein excels at weaving research seamlessly into narrative and has crafted another indelible story about friendship borne out of unimaginable adversity.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review
