Evelyn Elliott: Bad Magic

Bad Magic cover

A debut novel from a fellow M/M writer over on AbsoluteWrite. I’ve been watching the seeds of Bad Magic develop for a little while, and I could tell early on it would be a fun read. When she sold it to Dreamspinner Press, I cheered.

Here’s the blurb:

Morality is relative. At least that’s what young sorcerer Regis Teller convinces himself. He’s done what he must to survive: working for a witch since he was nine, helping her throw the kingdom into anarchy, and taking his only comfort in her mysterious son, Crow. And soon, Regis is going to commit his first murder.

A do-gooder named Jonathan White has information the witch needs, and it’s Regis’s job to get that information and slit Jonathan’s throat. But then Regis actually meets Jonathan. And Jonathan is perfect—a hero with a passion for justice and little regard for civility.

Lucky for Regis, Jonathan has a weakness for attractive men. Lucky for Jonathan, Regis is fast developing a conscience and a heart. But for Regis, keeping both of them alive at their adventure’s end means breaking a magical oath and surviving his ruthless boss—all without telling Jonathan the truth. Falling in love is never easy, especially when everyone involved is lying through their teeth.

Now you can find it here, on Amazon. If you don’t like Amazon, buy Bad Magic directly from Dreamspinner Press.
