The Court of Venus by Bel Banta — book slip

Bianca Mortlake, the first Moonborn magician in over a thousand years, is summoned back to the perilous court of Alvion, where magicians rule beside kings and power is determined by the stars.

As two queens have already fallen to the executioner's blade, Bianca must navigate a deadly game of courtly intrigue and rely on her old rival, the alluring Venusborn magician Roland, to uncover the dark secrets threatening the realm.

Amidst a backdrop of magic tournaments and murder mysteries, Bianca and Roland's rivalry turns to romance, as they must save the court—and each other—from a fate written in the stars.
