Synopsis
Witch hunts have returned to a world divided. After centuries of uneasy peace, magic is once again under siege. When witch Elena Hall narrowly escapes a brutal witch hunt, she flees with her human sister to the countryside, hoping for obscurity and a fresh start. But peace doesn't come easy, especially when the enigmatic local coven refuses to let her slip away unnoticed. Heir to power. Prisoner of expectations. Kieran Andraste has everything-wealth, charm, power-but none of the freedom. Beneath his gilded life lies a soul cracking under pressure. As the reluctant enforcer of his father's ruthless legacy, Kieran is trapped in a role he never chose, forced to sacrifice pieces of himself to uphold a crumbling empire. Two fractured souls. One irresistible bond. When Elena and Kieran's paths collide, they find a fragile refuge in each other's arms. But as the witch hunts intensify and secrets begin to unravel, their sanctuary teeters on the edge. Because in a world that's turning violent and unforgiving, the truth they uncover could ignite a war-or tear them apart forever.
