Mis-Spelled

by Annie Reed

Just one simple little spell. What’s the harm in that?

Maggie never meant to violate her Great Aunt Matilda’s Number Two Rule (Do No Harm) when she cast a spell to help her heartbroken best friend. Because really, who breaks up with somebody over a lack of holiday decorations? Only her spell backfired, big time. Now she’s been summoned to the Great Hall of the North to answer charges brought against her by Santa. Yes, the Santa.

With the prospect of a Merry Christmas looking worse by the minute, Maggie’s about to come face to face with her accuser, the big man himself—and his lawyer—in a trial that will determine whether she’ll lose her magick forever.
