Sorcerer to the Crown

Zen Cho

Book 1 of Sorcerer Royal

In an alternate Regency-era England, Zacharias Wythe becomes the first Black Sorcerer Royal, struggling to hold onto his position amid prejudice and a mysterious decline in England's magic. His path crosses with Prunella Gentleman, a mixed-race orphan with extraordinary untrained power that could upend the magical establishment's rules about women practicing sorcery. Together they navigate political intrigue, fae diplomacy, and societal resistance while slowly growing closer. The novel blends Regency manners and wit with sharp commentary on race, gender, and colonialism.
