In Victorian London, under the rule of an immortal fae queen, every subject is granted a single chance to bargain for their deepest desire. Ivy Benton knows her family’s fortune and social standing are beyond repair—until the queen announces a competition for Prince Bram’s hand. Determined to secure a crown, Ivy enters the glittering but dangerous contest, only to find an unexpected ally in Bram’s charming brother, Prince Emmett. As romance blossoms in forbidden directions and the queen’s deadly trials grow darker, Ivy must learn that every bargain comes with a cost—and hers may demand more than she ever imagined.

Set against the glittering yet dangerous backdrop of the early 1900s, The Witch Haven series follows Frances Hallowell, a seventeen-year-old seamstress in New York City who discovers she has untamed magical powers after a tragic and violent incident. Swept into Haxahaven, a secret school for witches disguised as a sanitarium, Frances finally finds belonging—but also secrets that could unravel her family’s past and the balance of power in Manhattan. In The Witch Hunt, the stakes rise as Frances travels to Paris, where reckless magic has torn the veil between the living and the dead. Amid secret societies, forbidden alliances, and haunting betrayals, Frances must decide how far she’ll go for truth, love, and the future of witchkind.
