Diese Reihe folgt Ivy Wilde, einer unmotivierten Hexe, die das Faulenzen jeder magischen Anstrengung vorzieht. Als sie jedoch durch einen bürokratischen Unfall in die Ermittlungsabteilung einer magischen Ordnung gerät, muss sie sich mit Bürokratie und einem gestohlenen magischen Artefakt auseinandersetzen. Ihre sarkastische und faule Veranlagung wird nur von ihrem unfreiwilligen Partner übertroffen, der ihr polares Gegenteil verkörpert. Fans von Urban Fantasy werden diese Mischung aus Humor, Action und widerwilligem Heldentum genießen.
Ivy Wilde is not your typical heroine; she's a lazy witch who prefers lounging on her sofa. However, a case of mistaken identity pulls her into the Arcane Branch, where she must deal with a stolen artifact and her reluctant partnership with the diligent Raphael Winter, whom she finds insufferable.
Hard Work Will Pay Off Later. Laziness Pays Off Now. Let's get one thing straight - Ivy Wilde is not a heroine. In fact, she's probably the last witch in the world who you'd call if you needed a magical helping hand. If it were down to Ivy, she'd spend all day every day on her sofa where she could watch TV, munch junk food and talk to her feline familiar to her heart's content. However, when a bureaucratic disaster ends up with Ivy as the victim of a case of mistaken identity, she's yanked very unwillingly into Arcane Branch, the investigative department of the Hallowed Order of Magical Enlightenment. Her problems are quadrupled when a valuable object is stolen right from under the Order's noses. It doesn't exactly help that she's been magically bound to Adeptus Exemptus Raphael Winter. He might have piercing sapphire eyes and a body which a cover model would be proud of but, as far as Ivy's concerned, he's a walking advertisement for the joyless perils of too much witch-work. And if he makes her go to the gym again, she's definitely going to turn him into a frog.
Set against the backdrop of a struggling film industry, the story follows a group of aspiring filmmakers who grapple with their dreams and the harsh realities of their craft. As they navigate personal conflicts and creative differences, their passion for storytelling is put to the test. Themes of ambition, friendship, and the relentless pursuit of success intertwine, revealing the challenges of making art in a world that often prioritizes commercial success over creativity.
Ivy Wilde embodies the experience of feeling completely disconnected from reality. As she navigates her unique circumstances, the narrative explores themes of isolation and self-discovery. The story delves into her struggles and the complexities of her existence, offering a compelling look at what it means to truly be "dead to the world." Through Ivy's journey, readers are invited to reflect on identity and the human experience in a profound way.
