What to expect

Practical Magic meets Bridgerton in this BRAND NEW witchy historical romance from Darcy McGuire 🪄🍄❤️‍🔥

From the author of the beloved Queen's Deadly Damsels series.

In a world where secrets are as dangerous as spells, love might be the most powerful magic of all…

Clio Blair is a fire witch—gifted, defiant, and hiding more than just her magic. With the power to speak to the dead and glimpse their final memories, she’s called in by her uncle at Scotland Yard to help solve the murder of Viscount Beachley. His ghost lingers, his wife is missing, and the trail leads straight into the glittering world of the ton… where Clio has no place.

Enter Lieutenant General Thomas Grey: brooding, scandal-shadowed, and bound by honour to assist the investigation. He never expects to be paired with a sharp-tongued witch who walks with ravens and burns like fire beneath her skin. As they’re forced into close quarters and dangerous secrets begin to surface, so does a desire neither of them can resist.

But Clio knows a witch’s heart is a dangerous thing to give away—especially to a man who swore never to love again. And Thomas knows desire alone won’t protect her from the dead who would use her, or the living who would destroy her.

Solving the murder may save them both—but surrendering to passion could consume them completely.

Perfect for fans of Lucy Jane Wood, India Holton and Erin Sterling ✨
