Books like The wizard's ward by Deborah Hale
The peaceful world of Umbria has been shattered by the ruthless Hanish invaders. Maura, a gifted witch of life‑magic, has lived her entire life under the protection of her wizard guardian. Now, she receives a daunting decree: she must become queen, but only after she locates and allies with the country’s legendary "Waiting King," a mission sought by men for ages. With the midsummer moon approaching, Maura enlists the outlaw Rath as her only ally, a partnership fraught with danger and mistrust. Together they face opposition from Hanish outlaws, rival treasure hunters, and even wary villagers who fear the witch and her wolf companion. As the deadline looms, Maura must decide whether to sacrifice everything or find another way to secure her nation's freedom and her rightful place atop the throne.
