In a war-torn world of magic and power struggles, Collie, a young and mischievous Battle Mage, finds herself caught between the demands of her commanding officer, General Ehuna, and her own rebellious nature. Blessed or cursed with a unique magical ability and a sharp tongue, Collie constantly tests the limits of her authority, much to Ehuna's exasperation.

Thrust into the heart of an escalating conflict, Collie must navigate the treacherous politics of the royal court, the prejudices of the noble-born guards, and the looming threat of a powerful, malignant magic that could consume them all. As she is forced to confront her own past and the mysteries surrounding her origins, Collie must decide whether to embrace her role as a soldier or forge her own path, even if it means defying those she has sworn to protect.

In this captivating fantasy adventure, the reader is drawn into a world where magic is both a gift and a curse, and the line between duty and personal freedom is razor-thin. "(Cursed by) Malignant Magic" promises a thrilling journey filled with intrigue, action, and the struggles of a young mage determined to carve out her own destiny.

For fans of Magic Study, The Unbroken, and The Jasmine Throne, this sapphic romance is Book 7 in the Once Upon a Curse series.

The series unfolds across multiple books, each introducing complex characters struggling to break free from the chains of their own cursed fates. These aren’t your typical princesses or knights; they’re flawed, fierce, and driven by personal stakes that challenge their beliefs and their hearts. As they journey through enchanted forests, treacherous kingdoms, and forgotten realms, they must confront the darker sides of magic—and the even darker sides of themselves.

Set in a rich, atmospheric world where danger lurks around every corner and romance brews alongside betrayal, Once Upon A Curse explores the complicated intersection of power, love, and redemption. The series weaves intricate plots that move beyond simple enchantments to explore themes of identity, sacrifice, and the ever-present battle between destiny and choice. With every book, Haines builds on this tapestry of magic and intrigue, leaving readers eagerly turning pages to uncover what happens next.

Whether you’re drawn in by the lush world-building, the complex character arcs, or the unexpected twists, this series will captivate those who love a mix of dark fantasy and fairy tale retellings. Magic doesn’t always work the way you want it to, but it always leaves a mark—and in Once Upon A Curse, that mark could change everything.
