They matched on a dating app. Then the universe dropped them into a magickal fire kingdom. Amanda Ward has a five-step manifestation routine, a ritual kit in every purse, and a dating profile designed to reflect the version of herself she wishes she could be: grounded, glowing, and in total alignment. In reality, she’s overwhelmed, under-satisfied, and one passive-aggressive email away from a full-blown meltdown. When a sext thread with her in-app temptation, Declan Thorne, leads to an invitation she can’t resist, Amanda finds herself face-to-face with the man behind the messages–a devastatingly hot, emotionally constipated venture capitalist. And the moment she tries bringing a bit of magick into their night, a tarot-triggered portal yanks them both into another realm entirely. Now stranded in the Kingdom of Wands with an aggravating, broody CEO-turned-reluctant-bodyguard and zero clue how to get home, Amanda’s facing nightly on-stage performances, suspicious queens, and magick that refuses to cooperate. What’s worse is that her biggest issue might not be the kingdom–it might be catching real feelings for the one man who makes her want to drop the act. To survive and find their way back home, she’ll have to ditch the affirmations and the carefully controlled persona she’s been clinging to and learn how to wield something way more powerful–her truth. Even if it burns everything down.
