The Wand of Lore by Viola Nichols

A witch trying to save her sister. The handsome brooding prince tasked with capturing her. The curse that binds them together.

Gwenneth spends her days healing villagers until a plague strikes, the villagers grow hostile, and her sister falls ill. Desperate, she embarks on a dangerous journey to find her mother’s lost wand, rumored to wield unimaginable power.
Unbeknown to her, Prince Vaylor has been sent by his father to capture the witch and add her to the king’s secret army of witches. But when Vaylor attempts to arrest Gwenneth, he discovers a deadly curse and can only survive with her help.
The two form an uneasy truce as Vaylor agrees to protect her on the journey while Gwenneth promises to heal him once she finds the wand. As they travel across Innsbrook’s dangerous countryside, the line between enemy and ally blurs as their bodies betray a yearning for something more. But when they finally reach the castle, they each must face the true cost of their decisions.
