Goat Magic by Kate Wheeler
Trill is a spirited goat herder with a unique ability to communicate with her flock, who yearns for a life beyond mountain pastures. Meanwhile, Princess Alya, known as the “Ordinary Princess” and heir to the kingdom of Capeya, doubts her own royal potential. Their worlds collide when an assassination attempt on the queen leaves Alya cursed to transform into a black goat each sunrise, seeking refuge in Trill’s goat herd. Together, they embark on a perilous journey back to the castle, facing treacherous foes and uncovering a web of betrayal and rebellion. With fast-paced action, enchanting magic, and a budding romance, Goat Magic is a captivating novel perfect for fans of fantasy adventure.
For creator Kate Wheeler, this enchanting story not only entertains but also emphasizes the importance of being true to oneself.
“Goat Magic is a thrilling fantasy adventure that, at its heart, is about becoming the person you want to be rather than what’s expected of you.”
