Enter a secret world hidden within our own, where elemental witches once wove the energies of Earth, Fire, Water, and Air into an ancient artifact of power that changed humanity. The Sundered Chalice was buried for a millennia, but it’s about to be found again… I’m Evalith Azarra—an Earth witch with broken magic. When I lost control of my magic, I was banished. Luckily, in Iceland no one minds a few earthquakes. But plagued by nightmares of an elemental apocalypse, I’m forced back to the West Coast alchemancers. My sister is in danger as she ascends to rule House Azarra—a place that would’ve been mine. I don’t belong there anymore, and with my Earth magic twisted by chaos, I bring more trouble than answers. Now I’m stuck with my sister’s bodyguard. He’s buff, badass—and a disbeliever, with no magical awareness…until me. I’m Van Asher—just a bodyguard who never had to believe in magic. The gold flecks in her eyes are too rich for my blood, and the fairy tales she tells too impossible to imagine. But when this barefoot witchy princess literally rocks my world, I have no chance: we’re bonded. Evalith claims she has no power, but she does…over me. Not a problem, since the explosions she triggers and bone-deep desire—also her fault—will probably kill me. Weirdly, there’s no place else I want to be, even if this bewitching Earth becomes my grave. We seek the Sundered Chalice—a long-lost elemental relic that might save our world…or unleash the shockwave that destroys it. Magic is rising, and whispers of upheaval threaten to unbalance House Azarra. We must unite the alchemancers once again. But our quest will compel us together too—too close, when every touch risks shattering the separation between magic and disbelief that’s protected both our worlds. And we’re not the only ones searching for the Sundered Chalice… *** MAGIC RISING is the first book in a new contemporary paranormal urban fantasy romance series from Elsa Jade (ExCap Files, Masters of the Flame, Big Sky Alien Brides) with three Gen Z witch sisters finding the right place—and love—for themselves while fighting to bring magic back to our everyday world. For fans of magic, action, adventure, plus kissing—and more! Happily ever afters, guaranteed.
