Publisher Description
Ali Hazelwood meets Dungeons & Dragons in this enemies-to-lovers fantasy academia romcom where rival grad student wizards are forced to work together without killing—or falling for—each other.
Will they conjure love, or evoke chaos? Two rival wizards are about to find out.
Sebastian Walsh: Evocation Department. Human. The first of his family to pick college over the military.
Elethior Tourael: Conjuration Department. Half-elf. Pretentious a*****e. The latest legacy Tourael at Lesiara U.
Both: Mageus Research Grant finalists.
Sebastian refuses to let anyone snatch this away, least of all a snob riding on old money. But what’s worse than a nemesis stealing your grant? You could both get it. Under the condition you work together.
Sebastian is in hell. Thio’s broody. Takes up their shared lab space with his projects . . . and biceps. Brings treats for Sebastian’s familiar . . .
. . . and is nothing like Sebastian thought.
When Sebastian’s past with the Touraels forces him to choose his research or Thio, the decision should be simple. But while working with his rival is volatile . . . falling for his rival might blow up Sebastian’s future.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Raasch (Go Luck Yourself) enchants with this queer fantasy romance. Sebastian "Seb" Walsh is a hot-headed college student studying the magical discipline of evocation and preparing to apply for a research grant he needs to graduate and secure a job in the nonprofit sector. Also competing for the grant is Elethior "Thio" Tourael, a conjuration student from a wealthy family who run an unethical magical research and military development company. Between their departments' long-standing rivalry and Seb's personal and moral qualms with the Tourael family, the two students are sworn enemies. Their grant proposals, however, are strikingly similar, leading the college to award the funding to both boys with the stipulation that they work together, hoping the collaboration will end the animosity between the two departments. Forced to share a lab, they butt heads as they work towards their goals, all while sexual tension mounts, especially when Seb learns that Thio doesn't support his family's immoral practices. Raasch pulls from familiar fantasy and romance tropes while adding in enough unique worldbuilding details to keep things fresh, and she handles themes of trauma and family strife with care. The fun magic school setting, animated and complex characters, and steamy enemies-to-lovers romance will have readers hooked.
