Ty, a wizard prodigy, is seeking a break from magical academics when he moves to a wizard village on the Scottish coast to pursue his dream of seaside living, but can’t land a waterman job in this tight knit community. Coral lives on her family’s schooner, frequently coming to port in Tern Bay, where her top position in a secret dueling society is threatened when her parents ban the trouble-finding teen from using magic and a rival challenges her to a duel she can only evade with the help of the hot stranger who needs a sailing instructor. Teaching Ty the ropes leads them to kissing on the beach, talking to dolphins, entering a sailing race, and dealing with Coral’s matchmaking family, but it’s their disagreement over clandestine dueling that determines whether the two powerful wizards pursue each other or their separate dreams.
