A Certain Sort of Madness

A Certain Sort of Madness (The Mage's War Saga #3) by Nicki Chapelway

She thinks she made him up.
He knows that she is bonkers.
Together they might just accomplish the impossible

Alicia Hareton is crazy. But that’s nothing new. Her insanity is inherited from her mother, just like her magical abilities and her blood ties to the strange and alluring world of Amar. She’s spent her life on Earth and yet Amar has always called to her, an intoxicating melody that she cannot ignore. Returning to Amar would put her life in danger, but Alicia has never let such technicalities stop her before.

However, when her mother is captured due to her reckless actions, Alicia will do anything to rescue her. That includes…
—Kidnapping her cousin
—Trusting her grumpy, sarcastic imaginary friend, who claims he doesn’t know her and doesn’t seem that imaginary anymore—or that trustworthy.
—Putting together a band of misfits to partake in an extremely ill-advised heist in the faerie court in order to find a way to defeat the most powerful mage in all Amar, who also happens to be Alicia’s grandfather.

But not everything in the faerie court is as it seems, and soon this unlikely group find themselves fighting for their lives as well as the lives of those they love. In a world of madness and magic, the lines between lies and loyalty are blurred and sometimes the only option you have left is to let the insanity loose.

The Mage’s War Saga is a YA portal fantasy series with echoes of Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan, the Wizard of Oz, and King Arthur. Set in a vibrant world of decaying magic, this series is full of humor, whimsy, sweet slow-burn romance, and stepping into your destiny whether you want to or not.
