Cover for "The Mage's Heart", a romantasy novel by Zakkarii Aarlen. Features a night scene in a lake with mountains in the background. A man with short brown hair, green shirt, and brown vest is holding another man by the waist and staring at him intently. The other man has thick gray hair up in a ponytail, with blue highlights. He is looking at an orb of water being magicked to match the other floating orbs of water in the image. He has a look of happy wonder, not aware of the other guy's fixated stare. (They're in love, your honor)

Time is running out.

Leighton, a water mage, is losing his magic. The deadline for his apprenticeship application is drawing near, but without magic, Leighton has nothing. He hires an adventurer to guide him to Lake Cilia, hoping to fix his magic with its magic-infused waters.

Mikkaya didn’t want to be an adventurer, but after failing his clan’s Hunter Order initiation test, he has no other choice. He has to slay a creature worthy of passing the test, but the chances of accomplishing that while escorting cute magicians through the woods are slim.

The Mage’s Heart is a standalone queer romantasy M/M novel that features two men and a giant cat tromping through the woods, an HEA, and adult content. If you like bed sharing, this one’s for you!

Cover and synopsis are not final. Triggers/Content warnings will be posted before release. This is book 1 of 3 from the Greenhill Society of Adventurers series, but can be read in any order.
