The Obsessed Mage and His Beloved Statue Bride: She Cannot Resist His Seductive Voice (Novel)
A mage who was petrified for twenty years is restored only to find her adoring former pupil all grown up in this steamy fantasy romance. (Also a hit manga!)
Lara Bradley, a renowned mage, sets off to defeat a low-risk monster with her young apprentice Alistair, who never stops proposing to her. But instead of a minor threat, they encounter the world’s most dangerous creature—a dragon! In a desperate bid to save Alistair, Lara faces the dragon alone and casts a spell that turns herself to stone.
Twenty years later, the petrification spell breaks, and Lara awakens in a world that has moved on—except for Alistair, who never forgot her. The boy she once knew has grown into a powerful, determined man who’s eager to make up for lost time with his beloved master. As they reconnect, will sparks fly, or are they doomed to repeat past mistakes?
