The Twelfth Enchantment

Prequel to The Magician Garrett Pell, Second Sorcerer of the Middle Lands, is just trying to build a school. Unfortunately, he's also got missing mage-students, disobedient goats, and a Grand Sorcerer who likes to disappear. Not to mention the distracting presence of the attractive local prince, who keeps mysteriously turning up right when Garrett could use a hand. Prince Alexandre de Berri knows perfectly well that he's the youngest and least talented of his brothers. But his father, the king, wants to be on good terms with the magicians, and Alex is good at making friends -- so he's been ordered to do exactly that. But what began as a royal command turns into very real feelings, and all Alex wants is to solve Garrett's problems. Alex's father isn't happy. Garrett's school still needs help. And Alex and Garrett will need to make a choice. But, together, they just might be magic.
