No Magic in the World

by Dayle A. Dermatis

No magic in the world can conquer nerves.

Alistair Ryan screws up his courage and tells Mr. and Mrs. Bello that he intends to marry their daughter, his beloved Janeen.

The Bellos counter with a request: find the missing—and dangerously powerful—rowan wand stolen from their own private collection.

A task failed by even the best wizards and warlocks in the Magical Council….

 

“One of the best writers working today.”

—USA Today bestselling author Dean Wesley Smith
