Steffort. “Hasn’t anyone told you there are all sorts of wicked creatures roaming the fairylands?” Princess Sanja never asked for a crown—or a cage. When she escapes an arranged marriage to a brutal lord, her only goal is freedom—until betrayal shatters her escape and death comes for her on royal orders. Saved by forbidden magic thought lost to time, Sanja is dragged back from the brink—into a realm that wants her dead. While her husband believes her buried and gone, she’s thrust into the cruel, glittering fairylands, where humans are hunted for sport and mercy is a myth. To survive, she binds herself to the a group of Mages and falls under the watch of Tristan: cold, powerful, and maddeningly beautiful—and the only thing more dangerous than the enemies hunting her is the growing pull between them. As Sanja’s magic grows, so does her hunger for answers—and for the man who guards his secrets almost as closely as his heart. But in a realm where love is a weapon and being human is a curse, trusting the wrong person could cost her everything. Perfect for readers who crave sharp-tongued, flawed heroines, dangerously powerful heroes, and slow-burning enemies-to-lovers tension— THE QUARTER MAGE is a haunting tale of love, betrayal, and magic that exacts a price in blood. This series is part of the ALCUNIARE. Review: Amazing start of an amazing serie - The story follows Sanja Zetareh Lazar, a princess who tries to run away from a fate she doesn’t want to partake in. In her escape, she finds a bigger monster that will threaten to destroy everything she loves and has known. Sanja is definitely a princess character. When she’s running away from the princess's life the challenges and changes she’s going through are hilarious. I loved the fact she was thinking about her princess's life and how she would be served and how she would be the one giving orders not the other way around. She has been a badass from the very first moment when she decided to run away from the fate her dad imposed on her and has grown so much more ever since. I really loved her change and how many things she has learned. Tristan at first I thought he might be one of those morally grey characters with a dark past trying to redeem himself, but Tristan has a sad story and all he knows is how to survive and stay away as much as possible from the Fae’s path. I enjoyed the fact he was so hardheaded but slowly opened up to Sanja and he was the first one to share his feelings. Prince Recienne is definitely a morally grey character. He’s ruthless and such a horrible person but for some reason, he helped Sanja all along – even tho he treated her horribly. I’m definitely interested in what turn his story will take because he has made me feel so confused and have such big contradictory feelings. There are of course other characters in the story that have some sort of control over where the story goes and an impact but they had their appearance brief – minus the king, he was one of those despicable characters that I cheered when he got what he deserved. The world-building is definitely amazing. The opulence the fae have, the way they’re delimited by the length of their name, and how so many of them were ruthless and so horrible even tho they were so, so beautiful that were making the people to be attracted to them like moths to light. The world the fae lived in was also very interesting, their food was mouthwatering and the overall description of their world was beautiful. The magic system for the mages was definitely something new for me. They would store their power into some mage stones, and the more they would use the less magic they would have, but I loved they had so many opportunities to earn more magic, and the way they used it sometimes was mind-blown. Who would love to put food on the table with a flick of a finger? The pace of the story was definitely great, not too slow not too fast. You got the perfect amount of information when needed, the story was shown to us instead of told which I like the best when comes to stories, and even tho you had only one pov in the story, following Sanja in her adventures was definitely amazing and I’m excited for what’s yet to come into their story. I enjoyed how the relationship between Sanja and Tristan developed, it came naturally. The book has spice in it but is not overly detailed or too smutty, I’d catalog the spice in it perhaps at 3 flame peppers considering there is some use of words and some more spicy moments – the sexual tension is perfectly made and the way things develop was smooth. Review: Great Read!! - Very intriguing story, thoughtful world building, and new to me perspective on magic (who has it, how it's used, type of magic...). I also love the take on the faerie/human relationships...no fated mates, faeries are cruel, manipulative creatures. There is a lot of action right from the start that really pulls you in to the story and characters so when the pace slows a little in the middle of the book, I was still totally invested to see how it turned out. There is a lot of violence, not in the typical battle scenes, but directed at the main character Sanja. The books leaves you on a total cliff hanger that makes you start to second guess everything you think you know! Can't wait to read the next book!! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #14,213 in Kindle Store ( See Top 100 in Kindle Store ) #322 in Epic Fantasy (Kindle Store) #522 in Romantic Fantasy (Kindle Store) #738 in Epic Fantasy (Books) | ## Images ![The Quarter Mage - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81mgd-cg22L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing start of an amazing serie *by A***I on August 31, 2022* The story follows Sanja Zetareh Lazar, a princess who tries to run away from a fate she doesn’t want to partake in.

I also love the take on the faerie/human relationships...no fated mates, faeries are cruel, manipulative creatures. There is a lot of action right from the start that really pulls you in to the story and characters so when the pace slows a little in the middle of the book, I was still totally invested to see how it turned out.

The books leaves you on a total cliff hanger that makes you start to second guess everything you think you know! Can't wait to read the next book!! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Creative and Engaging Fantasy Adventure *by C***R on October 31, 2022* Bottomline: 562 pages and I was sorry when it ended. The story begins with Sanja’s attempt to escape her arranged marriage to a cruel tyrant. Her father has bartered his daughter to this horrible person for what he thinks will be his benefit. Most of the story takes place after Sanja has arrived in the Fae kingdom where being human makes you prey. She is rescued from the streets and taken into the protection of a Mage and placed into training to become a mage herself. That is all that I will tell you about the plot, because it is best to let everything unfold as intended by the author. I liked the characters, the world-building, and the magic. There are strong women, brave heroes/heroines, frightening adversaries, and a few interesting characters that neither Sanja nor the reader know whether to trust. The pacing is brisk, and the pages turn quickly. The romance is romantic, but chaste. The violence level is high in a few places. There are plenty of twists and turns. The story will continue in the next book, but, sadly, that book will not be published until February. I am looking forward to reading it. I bought this book on a Kindle deal so the ratio of price to entertainment value was excellent. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/831732587-the-quarter-mage](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/831732587-the-quarter-mage) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-05-24*
