Love and Darkness Collide in The Arch Mage by James Wood



James Wood’s The Arch Mage is a fast-paced urban fantasy that throws you into the shadows of Paris, where love and dark magic battle for control.

The story follows Kelso, the Ebon Knight, who has just seven days to rescue Ava, the woman he loves, from her cruel sister Jesslyn. Their journey pulls readers into the eerie catacombs beneath Paris and into the sinister Dark Court, where every step feels like danger lurking around the corner.

What makes this book shine is the heart at its center. Kelso’s fierce devotion to Ava keeps the stakes personal, while Ava’s struggle to escape her dark heritage adds depth and humanity. Cassandra, the Arch Mage of the Light, brings intrigue with her sly secrets, though Jesslyn falls a little flat as a one-dimensional villain.

Despite a slow patch in the middle, the story comes alive in the final act with twists, emotional moments, and vivid scenes that linger. For fans of urban fantasy filled with atmosphere, danger, and romance, The Arch Mage is a journey worth taking.
