A Winding Wave of Magic

An epic & addictive age-gap, accidental fated-mates romantasy!

Cassandra Whelan doesn’t expect her fated mate to be a brooding, one-hundred-and-twelve-year-old fae with too many secrets and a jawline that could cut glass
She’s a bookish student, better with spells than small talk—and definitely not looking for a quest with an ancient soulmate.
But life changes fast when the universe decides you’re special.
Enter Jonathan Lynch:
Sorcerer. Shifter. Reluctant babysitter.
Assigned to protect Cassandra during her magical training, he’s not prepared for the way she unsettles him—or the violent possessiveness she awakens.
Dangerous doesn’t begin to cover it.
Especially when he should have never been the one fate chose for her.
Falling for each other is the worst possible idea.
She’s juggling a haunted inheritance, a seat on a powerful magical council, and a centuries-old secret the fae would kill to uncover.
He’s hiding too many hidden agendas of his own.
And some secrets? They don’t just change destinies. They torch worlds.
Magic. Murder. A bond written in the stars—and cursed by the gods.
Welcome to Cassandra’s new life. Try not to die.
