Book Synopsis
Cursed by magic, bound by mistakes, Princess Aria finds her destiny hinges on the mysterious Baron Reeves. Will love be enough to break the curse, or will war bring her kingdom to ruin? A new cozy romantasy by Elizabeth Lowham.
When Crown Princess Aria sees her kingdom on the brink of war with the magic-wielding Casters, she takes it upon herself to speak with the Widow Morton, the most dangerous Caster in the realm. If successful, Aria will not only ensure peace but also prove to her father that she is a worthy heir. But when her negotiations fail, Aria is dealt a terrible curse: Over the course of one hundred days, she will be unable to sleep, her body and mind doomed to waste away. And then the curse will pass to her sister, until every member of the king’s line is dead.
Aria’s best hope for breaking her curse is to seek help from another Caster—the handsome and charming Baron Reeves. He may be entitled to a place at the court, but as a magic user, can he truly be trusted? She vows not be fooled by his dimpled smiles or his devotion to his brothers, but as she spends more time with him, she discovers that her heart has other ideas.
Baron has no desire to see the princess suffer—especially since she might be the key to changing the king’s opinion on Casters—but he has secrets to protect and ghosts of his own. The last person he tried to save using his magic died, and he’s not willing to risk harming someone he loves again.
As the curse continues its deadly countdown, both Aria and Baron must risk their lives and their hearts to save each other and unite a kingdom.

My Review
Casters and Crowns is a young adult romantic fantasy that captivated me. Its unique magic system and storyline felt fresh and had a strong fairytale vibe. The story grabs your attention from the start, as Princess Aria fights to save her kingdom from a war with magic casters. When her plan fails, she faces a curse, setting her on a challenging journey to save herself and her kingdom.
I found so much to love in this book. The characters made me laugh, cry, and cheer for them. The Reeves brothers were a standout—charming and loyal, their magic is impressive, but their strong values truly shine. There were thrilling moments as Aria and Baron teamed up to break the curse. Aria often faced challenges alone, counting down to her doom, showcasing a fierce bravery that teaches the value of perseverance. The slow-developing romance showed how love can overcome deep-rooted fears. Aria and Baron were a perfect match. Baron’s twin brothers, Corvin and Leon, added humor to the mix while staying deeply loyal to one another.
