Unfortunately, he soon discovers his mentor, the Duke of Henly, is head of a family of proud enchanters-and that they're the next target of the Magic Thief, a servant of the sorcerers. With the threat of another accusation hanging over him, Marcel sets out to prove his innocence, especially to the duke's beautiful daughter Gabriella, and to stop the Thief once and for all. But Gabriella is hiding a deadly secret that complicates Marcel's mission, and raises its stakes.

They are clean fantasy novels with adventure, humor, and romance in E.J. Kitchens's classic "Jane Austen romance meets fairytale adventure" style.

The Star Clock Chronicles

Fantasy

In a world where sun and moon are myths, dawn is coming.\nNo sun ever rose, no moon ever waxed or waned, no stars ever danced a rhythmic pattern across the night sky. Only faerie crystals brightening and dimming according to one man's will signaled dawn and dusk, month and season. Long ago, the faerie queen Morgan Unseelie cast a veil between heaven and earth, obscuring all heaven's lights, for the pleasure and power of a mortal man, who then fashioned himself the Rí Am, the Time King.\nFrom all other mortals, she took away knowledge of time and direction and skill of navigation. Man was dependent on the Rí Am's automaton navigators for travel and trade and thought the sun a myth and the faerie queen a benevolent goddess. Those few who kept the true faith-belief in the celestial lights and their Maker-called themselves Sky Keepers and refused to pay homage to the queen and her time king, often at great cost. But when airship captain Marianna Bowditch and Sky Keeper Bertram Orren stumble upon ancient books on navigation while trapped in an abandoned faerie court, everything starts to change.\nTHE STAR CLOCK CHRONICLES is a collection of five tales of adventure and romance in steampunk world telling of the defeat of the Time King and the coming of dawn.

Product Description Only a king can banish sorcerers and strip enchanters of their power. Only a king is immune to spells and potions. Only a king knows the truth behind the legends. Until now.Magic Collector Devryn Ashby may have deserved the curse that saps his magic-manipulating abilities, but it certainly won’t help him with the task King Reginald has assigned him. Instead of allowing him to continue hunting for those who stole the powerful Enchanter’s List, the king makes Devryn trainer-in-magic to the mischievous enchantress Lady Meredith Lofton.Except for an occasional matchmaking exploit, Lady Meredith has little use for her power of enchantment—until the king asks her to train in magical warfare techniques. This both excites and terrifies her. And irks her, for she refuses to be bossed around by the critical Devryn Ashby, a man she’s not even sure she should trust.But as dangers increase and the sorcerers’ schemes unfold, Devryn and Meredith must choose whom to follow—their own desires and prejudices or their king. Only a king knows how much the kingdom depends on their choice.THE KING'S SPELL, Realm and Wand book 1, is a YA Christian fantasy series with a "Jane Austen romance meets fantasy adventure" feel. It is part of the Magic Collectors story world. Review I thoroughly enjoyed The King's Spell. Set in a Jane Austen-esqe world with fascinating magic, mystery, and intriguing and enjoyable characters, this book is a must for readers looking for something more than the usual medieval fantasy fare. I need the next book (and a cup of tea) now!~Morgan L. Busse, author of the award-winning Ravenwood SagaA compelling mystery wrapped in a complex and richly detailed world.~H.L. Burke, fantasy author and Realm Award winnerI thoroughly enjoyed this story. The unique, fully realized magic system captured my interest and the realistically developed characters held it, binding me to the unpredictable, compelling plot that kept me guessing. I didn't want the story to end, and I may have wailed in despair when it did. ~Lauricia Matuska, author of The Healer's RuneThe King's Spell draws readers more deeply into Kitchens' unforgettable world of manners, magic, adventure, and romance. Half-magic Devryn Ashby is just as delightful a hero as anticipated, especially when paired off against the mischievous enchantress Lady Meredith Lofton. With just the right balance of wit and danger and an entertaining cast of multi-faceted characters, I can't wait for the next installment!~Laurie Lucking, award-winning author of The Tales of the Mystics
