To Sway A Charlatan - Hardcover

by Daphinie Cramsie (Author)

Harlow Hedgewater is by all accounts a 34-year-old astute wizard who just snatched an apprenticeship to a high-ranking wizard known for going through apprentices faster than the rumors of their solitude can spread. In reality, she's an undercover thief hell-bent on stealing a mysterious relic from the eccentric Atlas Daggerroot. She must get close to them to find the magically-hidden vault within their moody sentient manor. The relic is her key to finally realizing her dream of serving as a Thieves Guild council member and making the world remember her. But she quickly discovers she'll have to balance the charade of being an accomplished wizard with steering her heart away from Atlas who continuously surprises her with tenderness she doesn't believe she deserves. With each shared adventure, Harlow gets further away from repeating her pattern of running away when she gets too close. Falling in love with her mark was never the plan and now her promised social status hangs in the balance. She must decide if this strict, no-nonsense life she's been forcing herself to build is really what life is meant to be or if it's time to let go and let her heart lead.

To Sway A Charlatan is a queer cozy romantasy with magic in abundance and low stakes (though that doesn't mean there isn't plenty of adventure).
