The Rogue Agent series is a four-book comic fantasy written by Karen Miller under the pen name K.E. Mills and published by Orbit Books between 2008 and 2011. The books follow Gerald Dunwoody, a Third Grade wizard whose magical abilities turn out to be far greater and more unpredictable than his modest credentials suggest. Set in a world of competing magical bureaucracies, talking animals, and rogue sorcerers, the series blends slapstick humor with genuine stakes.

In The Accidental Sorcerer, Gerald takes a job as court wizard for King Lional of New Ottosland after accidentally blowing up a factory. He quickly discovers the king has dangerous plans, and Gerald must rely on help from Princess Melissande and a sharp-tongued bird named Reg. Later books see Gerald recruited as a government agent, with Melissande and Reg opening their own witching agency in Witches Incorporated. Wizard Squared raises the stakes with a visitor from an alternate reality, and Wizard Undercover sends Gerald on an undercover mission.

The series is best read in publication order, as characters and storylines build across all four books.
