The Court of Venus

Bel Banta

A banished Moonborn magician named Bianca is summoned back to a Tudor-inspired royal court ruled by astrology-based magic, where she must reluctantly team up with her old rival Roland, a powerful Venusborn magician, to investigate the suspicious death of a childhood friend. As they dig into palace secrets, the pair are forced to confront both a dangerous conspiracy and their own complicated feelings for one another. It's a slow-burn, rivals-to-lovers romantic fantasy wrapped around courtly intrigue, a murder mystery, and a richly imagined celestial magic system.
