The Elf Lord's Trial

Scotland's magical community thought they were finally free from the curse that bound them for centuries--they thought wrong. It's up to the crown prince of the elves and a witch to try and break the curse... if they don't break each other first.

‘The Elf Lord's Trial’ is the fourth book in the Office of Highland Magic series, featuring a department of academics keeping track of Scotland’s magical peoples and relics.

Hùisdean Aexisys is many things: a prince, an eternal student of magic, and a decent leader. He is not, however, good at asking for help. But when Scotland's infamous curse comes back and threatens not only his magic, but the livelihood of his people, he's going to do the one thing he hates above all else... ask for help.

Ayda Bhaduri loves magic more than people. After following in her mother's footsteps to become one of the most talented earth witches in Scotland, she's still trying to break out from the weight of her family's expectations. The last thing she wants to do is partner with an arrogant prince, but she can't resist a magical puzzle.

When Hùisdean arrives to ask Ayda for her help, it takes a little bit of convincing before she agrees. As the powerful duo tries to break the curse, they learn Ayda herself may be the secret to cracking the case. If her new mysterious powers aren't enough to deal with, the last thing she's prepared to tackle is her changing relationship with Hùisdean. Hùisdean and Ayda become trapped in a race against time. Will they break the curse... or each other?
