She was taken in as an apprentice, but her heart is constantly suffering from unrequited love—all because of Lucas Bailey, a great yet hopelessly disorganized archmage who can’t even put things back where they belong. Feared as a reclusive magician living in an ancient castle, Lucas speaks in an elegant, feminine manner and is notorious for his disdain for humans. Yet, despite his eccentricities, he treats her like family, and even presses gentle kisses over her bandages in an effort to break her curse. Unbeknownst to him, Aria has begun to harbor feelings for her enigmatic master— Thus begins the mismatched love fantasy between a self-conscious apprentice and her bewitchingly beautiful yet odd archmage mentor!
