Order The Tethering and begin your journey now!Interview with the AuthorWhat type of magic can readers expect from The Tethering series?Witches, wizards, centaurs, and epic battles. And all this magic takes place in our modern world. Creating a space where magic can exist alongside cell phones and airplanes was a fun and unique process, and the resulting world is one I know readers will enjoy.What makes the romance in The Tethering series different?There is a certain kind of romance that goes beyond physical attraction, past an emotional connection, and dives into the realm of a bond that ties two people together in a way that cannot be broken.Jacob has always loved Emilia. But when magic gets involved in romance, the strength of his soul will be tested.What sets Jacob apart from other “boy wizards?While Jacob does have the element of discovering that he’s a wizard―as is most widely known from the Harry Potter series―his core motivation isn’t to prove that he belongs in a magical world. He is a boy driven by love with the need to protect Emilia as his single most defining characteristic. Yes, he does have a wand, but he also has a soul mate.Who do you think would enjoy this book?If you love magic, want a romance you won’t be able to forget, and aren’t afraid to wonder what magic hides just out of sight, this book is for you.
