I am obsessed with this book! I was hooked on this incredible romantasy from the very first page. From the epic quest to the strong, endearing heroine to the deliciously grumpy, morally grey hero, this book was the perfect escape from reality. A top read of the year and a book that’s going straight to my favourites shelf

Shanora Williams weaves a spell in words and world building to create a story that is pure magic! I have so much love for this novel!

New York Times, USA Today, and International bestselling author Cecy Robson

Mayhem and the Mortal is a sexy, big-hearted adventure of a novel! The unrelenting chemistry between Thane and Zaira kept me glued to the page.

New York Times and USA Today Bestselling Author Rachel Howzell Hall

Mayhem and the Mortal combines everything I love about a classic fantasy quest with plenty of cute and cozy vibes in an action-packed adventure. Found family, whimsical world-building, and a tension-filled, grumpy/sunshine romance will have you kicking your feet as Shanora Williams transports you into a tale that every reader will want to get lost in.

USA Today Bestselling Author of Storm Breaker Nisha J. Tuli

After a dark sorcerer curses her sister, Zaira must find a way to save her only living relative before they die. In order for that to happen, she has to enter a deadly temple no man has ever survived to reach the Prosperity Stone. 
 
As a mere mortal in Thelanor living amongst magic wielders and beasts who blend in with their society, it seems there’s no way she can survive such a mission. 
 
That is until she stumbles across Thane Valkor, a mysterious, brooding man of few words. One look at Thane and not only does Zaira feel an irritatingly profound connection to him, but she comes to the realization that he is exactly the person she needs in order to save her sister’s life.
