Two rival apprentice sorcerers must team up to save their teachers and protect their own magic in this “charming and engaging” (School Library Journal) young adult romantic adventure from the author of In Deeper Waters and So This Is Ever After.
Edison Rooker isn’t sure what to expect when he enters the office of Antonia Hex, the powerful sorceress who runs a call center for magical emergencies. He doesn’t have much experience with hexes or curses. Heck, he doesn’t even have magic. But he does have a plan—to regain the access to the magical world he lost when his grandmother passed.
Antonia is…intimidating, but she gives him a job and a new name—Rook—both of which he’s happy to accept. Now all Rook has to do is keep his Spell Binder, an illegal magical detection device, hidden from the Magical Consortium. And contend with Sun, the grumpy and annoyingly cute apprentice to Antonia’s rival colleague, Fable.
But dealing with competition isn’t so bad; as Sun seems to pop up more and more, Rook minds less and less. But when the Consortium gets wind of Rook’s Spell Binder, they come for Antonia.
All alone, Rook runs to the only other magical person he knows: Sun. Except Fable has also been attacked, and now Rook and Sun have no choice but to work together to get their mentors back…or face losing their magic forever.

"Spell Bound" by F.T. Lukens: Review
If you’re a fan of the Grumpy/Sunshine trope, this book is for you.
The story follows Rook and Sun, two rival apprentice sorcerers, as they team up to save their teachers and protect their own magic from the magic regulatory government body known as the Consortium.
I really enjoyed how the blend of magic and technology is portrayed, and how unique the magic and it’s access is used in the story, to portray the systems of oppression that are ravaging this fictional world. Plus the inclusion of queer characters without the discussion of their gender identity or sexual orientation was like a breath of fresh air.
The story is filled with lovable characters, sweet heartwarming moments and really funny dialogue. While offering light commentary on real world issues like government regulations, corruption and capitalism.
The book isn’t perfect, but the heart at the core of this story is more than worth you’re time.
