A thrilling fantasy adventure perfect for fans of George R.R. Martin and Brandon Sanderson.


Some prophecies aren’t meant to come true.

Prince Trystan Renauld doesn’t believe in the ancient power that once helped his kingdom thrive. The tales say that on the day of his birth, the Tri-Gard, legendary keepers of the magic, stripped it from the very earth and then disappeared, leaving the people to suffer in a dying land.

Now, it’s been twenty years and crops fail to thrive, the earth no longer connected to the ones it once served.

With war on the horizon, Trystan must do anything he can to prepare his people. Even if that means following his sister on a hunt to find the lost keepers and restore a power that might not be real.


Rissa has always known two things. She is in love with Davion, her father’s ward, and no one can ever find out.

When it becomes apparent the kingdom needs her for more than an advantageous marriage, she takes the chance to break free of her chains.

The Tri-Gard is out there. She knows it is.

Along with her brother and Davion, she’s determined to find it.

But, the greatest danger doesn’t come from the enemy amassing on the border. It’s been among them all along.


Dive into this epic fantasy romance with unique worldbuilding, engaging characters, and an impossible love story where good and evil are sometimes the same thing.

    I'm a USA Today Bestselling author of fantasy, contemporary romance, and romantic comedies. Fantasy was my first and forever love with the bestselling "Golden Curse". I love taking old stories and turning them around until they're almost unrecognizable except to the most avid fans. I write books to challenge myself, tackling hard topics or places so different from my own. Studying ancient cultures, architecture, and folklore is one of the best parts of being an author.

    I've written more than seventy stories full of magic, love, and friendship, and at thirty-three, have no plans to ever stop.

5.0 out of 5 stars A War for Magic
Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2019

I'm not sure why I felt like I was on the edge of my seat while this story unfolded, but I did. Maybe I had a feeling something spectacular would happen and that this story was not going to be easy to figure out; and I was not disappointed. A War for Magic was brilliant and at times frustrating. Davi and Rissa worked every nerve I had. It was frustrating to know they were in love with each other but couldn't do anything about it. 

But this is more than a love story; so much more. There's adventure, intrigue, and betrayal. I knew I would be in for a treat when I saw M. Lynn's name on this book. She has a way of putting the reader in the midst of the story so they will understand what the characters are experiencing. I never heard of Michelle Bryan, but have experienced the magic of her writing in this book. I went out and purchased one of her books. 

I need book 2. I finally understand those readers who wait until all of the books in a series are out before they read them. It's painful to have to wait to find out what is going to happen to certain characters that you have fallen in love with. Especially when the story is brilliant and has provided everything you needed to escape real life.

4.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining fantasy romance-ish
Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2021

The book started off well, so I didn't have to read very far before finding myself drawn into the story. The imagery/scenes used made it easy to creat vivid visualizations for the key moments in the tale. The cast of noble characters were enjoyable and moved the story along but also were fleshed out to help you care about the plight of the characters. At times this story was fairly heavy on the romance angle, and it was well done, and not over the top. The overall big picture story is a very common one in fantasy, nothing particularly unique about it--but again it was well done. The brief bit of magic was pretty unclear as to how it works, I suppose it leaves some mystery--but the earth magic and such seemed the one aspect that felt a bit weak/forced to me.

Anyway, I bought book 2 and look forward to seeing how this adventure continues...so congrats and a solidly entertaining book that most that appreciate this genre will probably enjoy.

Book 1 had a few errors throughout, but overall was a fun read. The plot is interesting and is a little different than what is normal for magic books. The characters are well done and developed in a fun way. The plot is ongoing into book 2, but also somewhat predictable. There is a lot of dialogue and running around throughout the book, with not a lot of explanations until closer to the end. I look forward to book 2.

5.0 out of 5 stars The beginning of a great epic fantasy adventure!
Reviewed in the United States on August 4, 2019
The beginning of a great epic fantasy adventure! This collaboration results in intricate, fast-moving plots and in-depth character creation. Grab A War for Magic and join the fight to restore magic to a dying land.

Since presented with a prophesy when prince Trystan was five, the king has believed his son would be the hero to save their crumbling kingdom. At that time, he brought home an orphan boy of the same age. The seer foresaw the boy, Davion becoming the prince’s most loyal friend and protector.

Along with the princess, Rissa, the children were raised as near equals. However, Rissa sees Davion as anything but a brother, while Trystan sadly acknowledges that the two will never be able to fulfill the love they have for one another.

It is the eve of change for this trio. Most of the younger generation of the land no longer believe in magic. It was stripped away twenty years ago. Now that Trystan has taken his place as the head of the kingdom’s armed forces, with Davion as his second in command, they will begin the dangerous adventure to restore the magic that used to sustain the kingdom! Can magic be restored? Or will their land perish? Will everyone survive this perilous quest?

4.0 out of 5 stars Good first Book to captivate me into investing in the series
Reviewed in Brazil on June 2, 2021

The world that was built in this series really is very well thought through. I find that sometimes when starting a series, it feels like book 1 is almost like the first book of one of the authors, so there are some aspects of the story that don't quite jump off the page from the start. However, as I made my way through the book, I was captivated by the characters and the dangers they face. It does have a cliff hanger ending, so it was lucky that the series was already complete and I could move on to Book 2 quickly!

3.5/5 stars rounded up
Great epic fantasy story. Good world building and enjoyable characters. Magic and an adventure that is fun to follow. The story is somewhat predictable as enough is given away/hinted at that you get a good feel as to where the story is going. I really do love the adventure they are going on, and would recommend this story.
