Wizards, Inc. is an anthology of fifteen short stories filled with magical mischief. From wizards and witches to elves and goblins, each author tells a tale of power and adds their own brand of mystery, suspense and romance to the strong mix of fantasy. Each story is wonderfully unique and as enchanting as the next.
