MINERVA While I prefer simple magics, and hide my
more deadly skills, I can defend myself. My gift, shield
magic, makes me impervious to dark magic, so my coven sent
me to determine what evil lurks inside the Kent coven in the
town of Maidstone. I’m to stay with a trusted
nonmagical apothecary who has petitioned for entry to the
Witches of Windsor. Jonah Allen lives outside of Maidstone.
I’ll be safe at his home. I expect to find a bookish
man bent over his concoctions, but instead, I find a hulking
bear of a man who stimulates more than my intellect…
JONAH Though born to a powerful witch, I have no
practical magic. Forced from my birth coven, I use my
knowledge of medicines in nature as an apothecary, but
living among ordinary people is a foreign, lonely existence.
I’ve heard the Windsor coven is more open-minded about
membership, and I have nothing to lose by requesting
admission.
Windsor sends a powerful witch to stay with me while she
investigates the local coven. One look at Minerva Honeywell
shatters everything I thought I knew about witches.
She’s kind and thoughtful, and I’m under her
spell from the start. My future in her coven—and in
her life—depend on us finding the source of dark magic
and keeping it far from Windsor and the king.
