Time’s Malady Book One

Lee is a wizard. Wizards are powerful, and none more so than he. But it is a universal law that power attracts trouble.

It also attracts witches.

When the down-on-her-luck but plucky Shera knocks him down, begging to be indentured, he resists. But Shera is dogged and will prove herself, no matter what she has to destroy.

You see, it’s joining Lee or death for the powerful clock witch, and she’d prefer to see out her days in his dusty factory than vie with the pirates she’s running from.

But once one starts running, it’s so very hard to stop. And even if Shera runs head – and heart – first into Lee’s arms, it won’t be enough to save her or the city. A dark treasure across the sea beckons. All will fall to dust in its path unless these two practitioners can stop arguing long enough to fight back.
