Strange Magic — Marie Medina

Malcolm, a sorcerer in Melara, heads north to meet with another magic user, who happens to be the land's new queen. But on the way there, Malcolm rescues Christopher, a handsome young man who casts a completely different kind of spell on the sorcerer.

Malcolm tries to focus on his diplomatic mission, but the queen insists the two men met for a reason. They're just beginning to explore this connection when the kingdom is threatened, and Malcolm finds himself fighting not only for his new friends but also for the man he's growing to love.
