THE #1 SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

'Juno Dawson is at the top of her game in this vibrant and meticulous take on witchcraft. Her characteristic wit and grit shine through'
Samantha Shannon

Hidden among us is a secret government department of witches known as Her Majesty’s Royal Coven.

They protect crown and country from magical forces and otherworldly evil, but their greatest enemy will come from within…

There are whisperings of a prophecy that will bring the coven to its knees, and four best friends are about to be caught at the centre.

Life as a modern witch was never simple … but now it’s about to get apocalyptic.

Prepare to be bewitched by Juno Dawson’s first adult series. A story of ancient prophecies and modern dating, of sacred sisterhood and demonic frenemies.

Critics Review

n

'The story is fast-paced and impossible to put down, and over the course of the two books I started to think of the characters as new friends. Best read while listening to a nostalgic Spice Girls playlist.' Good Housekeeping

‘Dawson has created your new obsession. HMRC is full of her trademark heart and humour, with a delicious slick of darkness. I fell in love with her coven – and I need the next instalment now!’
