The Secret Mage

Prophecies and lies. Love and betrayal.
It all began with a prophecy, but what if it was a lie?

Life for Elice has always been one thing: lonely. She lives in secret, locked away in a secluded cottage because of the king's magic ban. Elice must live this way until she can learn to control her rare elemental magic-the ability to control air, earth, and water.

At least, that's what her guardian, Lenore, has always told her.

But when Lenore goes missing, Elice's mission to find her becomes intertwined with a handsome lord and a crown princess. With both the past and the truth on the line, she must decide if finding her guardian is more important than finding out why she looks exactly like the princess.

The Secret Mage is book one of Elice, the Great, a young adult fantasy series that retells the classic fairy tale Rapunzel, with slow-burn romance, diverse characters, and themes of coming-of-age, self-discovery, and identity.
