The Entanglement of Rival Wizards
Ali Hazelwood meets Dungeons & Dragons in this enemies-to-lovers fantasy academia romcom where rival grad student wizards are forced to work together without killing―or falling for―each other.
Will they conjure love, or evoke chaos? Two rival wizards are about to find out.
Sebastian Walsh: Evocation Department. Human. The first of his family to pick college over the military.
Elethior Tourael: Conjuration Department. Half-elf. Pretentious asshole. The latest legacy Tourael at Lesiara U.
Both: Mageus Research Grant finalists.
Sebastian refuses to let anyone snatch this away, least of all a snob riding on old money. But what’s worse than a nemesis stealing your grant? You could both get it. Under the condition you work together.
Sebastian is in hell. Thio’s broody. Takes up their shared lab space with his projects . . . and biceps. Brings treats for Sebastian’s familiar . . .
. . . and is nothing like Sebastian thought.
When Sebastian’s past with the Touraels forces him to choose his research or Thio, the decision should be simple. But while working with his rival is volatile . . . falling for his rival might blow up Sebastian’s future.

Sara Raasch
Sara Raasch has always been chasing stories. Long before her novels found their way onto New York Times and USA Today bestseller lists, she was a child in Ohio, sketching out picture books on folded paper and selling them alongside lemonade. That early spark never dimmed, it grew into a passion for fantasy that would carry her from her hometown cornfields to bookshelves around the world.
Her breakout moment came with Snow Like Ashes, a sweeping tale of kingdoms divided by magic and loyalty. Published in 2014 after years of persistence and six earlier manuscripts, the book captured readers with its icy landscapes and a heroine who learns that destiny is not a prophecy but a choice. It was quickly embraced by fantasy fans and went on to earn bestseller recognition. Two sequels, Ice Like Fire and Frost Like Night, completed the trilogy, cementing Raasch’s reputation for blending political intrigue with lyrical world-building.
