About this listen

 Desperate to undo the curse binding them together, an impulsive sorcerer and his curmudgeonly rival venture deep into a magical forest in search of a counterspell - only to discover that magic might not be the only thing pulling them together. An irresistible cosy fantasy for fans of A Marvellous Light and Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia of Faeries.

Leovander Loveage is a master of small magics, content to spend his days thinking up charms that can summon butterflies or turn hair pink. That is, until a mishap with forbidden magic compels Leo to obey his longtime rival, Sebastian Grimm. Grimm is Leo's complete opposite - respected, talented and an absolutely insufferable curmudgeon. They need a counterspell, and fast.

Chasing rumours of a powerful sorcerer, Leo and Grimm enter the Unquiet Wood, a forest teeming with murderous monsters and dangerous outlaws. To break the curse, they'll have to uncover the true depths of Leo's magic, set aside their animosity and - much to their horror - work together. Even as an odd spark of attraction flares between them.

'Maiga Doocy's voice is nothing short of masterful . . . I would gladly take an arrow for either Leo or Grimm'
Megan Bannen, author of The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy

'I loved this book! . . . One of the best slow-burn relationships I've seen in a long time. Prepare to get deeply invested in Leovander Lovage and Sebastian Grimm.'
Melissa Caruso, author of The Last Hour Between Worlds

'With vibrant characters, delicious slow-burn tension and a fascinating magic system, this is a compelling start to the trilogy. Adults yearning for the enchantment of their childhood favourites will be spellbound by this magical adventure'

Critic reviews

'Reading Sorcery and Small Magics feels like stepping into the world of the ultimate comfort story. Packed with humour and heart, Doocy's debut had me grinning from ear to ear and giggling the whole way through. This is a cosy, whimsical spin on academia that will give you all the warm fuzzy feels!' (Sydney J. Shields, author of THE HONEY WITCH)

'Sorcery and Small Magics smoulders like spell-paper, set aflame by its singular enchanted setting, a spirited violin soundtrack and plenty of charming chaos. The hesitant care that Leo and Grimm show each other as they work to dispel a genuinely terrifying curse is heart-warming' (Sylvie Cathrall, author of A LETTER TO THE LUMINOUS DEEP)

'Charming, cheeky and utterly magical' (Davinia Evans, author of NOTORIOUS SORCERER)

Lovely story with excellent narration

Easy listen and the narrator did a great job drawing me into the story. A enjoyed the plot and characters - the contrast of the two MMCs was good fun and their development was brilliant. Very very slow burn/steam (not in it for the spice with this one) and interesting magic system that I don’t think I’ve read before. Just overall a beautiful story and I happily listened to it over a couple of days.
