Warmane Vol. I: The Wizard

A land abandoned by its faery protectors. A wizard standing up for those left vulnerable. An elf longing for adventure after spending too much time isolated in her grief.

In a world ravaged by a war between factions of magic-wielders, Warmane is a wizard with no faction. As the leader of a resistance group comprised of non-magic-wielders, he is waging his own war against the factions in an effort to restore the land back to peace.

The mysterious Lady Schéa Stone is a spirited elf who happens to be at the wrong place at the right time. One fateful night, a dance with a handsome stranger leads her towards the life of excitement she has always dreamed of.

His sense of duty dictates that he must continue to protect her, but the alluring elf he rescued from danger three times in as many days has proven to be more trouble than he bargained for. She’s stubborn and unpredictable, but also skilled and kind, and getting under his skin and closer to his heart with each passing day.

He can vanquish enemies with ease, so how in the world is Lady Stone the biggest challenge he has yet to overcome?
 

Tropes include forced proximity, grumpy/ sunshine, and intrepid damsel seeking distress.
