A captivating fantasy novel about a witch and the price she must pay to protect her coven. Katherine Barnes is a gifted witch whose life has been far from easy. She loves her coven and is fiercely loyal to her mentor, Sylvia. When an unexpected guest, Silas, threatens the peace of her home, Katherine becomes determined to protect her coven above all else. What she doesn’t plan for is the sudden attraction she begins feeling for Silas as they work together to uncover a conspiracy.
This gripping story introduces readers to the secret life of powerful witches who work behind the scenes to maintain order and compliance. It is a thoughtful and clever story that blends contemporary fantasy cohesively. Katherine’s role reminded me of Aurors from the Harry Potter universe and delivered a believable high-stakes reality. The romance elements were well-paced and delivered a frustrating but satisfying ending that makes the reader want to read book two. Overall, it was a great story that immerses the reader into the fascinating but secret world of witches.
For readers who enjoy magical worlds full of conspiracies and betrayal
