The Lonely Witch Joy is having a terrible day, carrying her very sick brother Lance in her arms, when she first meets Noah. She is desperate to see her brother well again and has been told that Noah will be able to help her. Desperate, not knowing what else to do, she puts her trust into the mystery stranger’s hands. To her relief, it seems her faith was not misguided, as Lance is healed by Noah in the most extraordinary way! Furthermore, she finds Noah to be a kind and patient man, as he offers her and her brother food and shelter, to the relief of Joy who has been on the road travelling from village to village for a good length of time. But it is only when a dramatic event occurs that Noah’s true identity and abilities are made clear. Joy then comes to understand the troubled and mysterious man much better, and more importantly, she comes to see that they are not so different, a thought that only serves to intensify the feelings that she has for Noah! The Look of a Witch Jess is taken by surprise when she discovers that she is being watched and followed. She is all the more stunned when she finds out that the identity of her watcher is a man named Gideon who has magnificent green eyes that resembles her own eye colouring! And even more disturbingly Gideon, upon being questioned, tells her that he is a witch and that she is one too. He explains that has been following her since he noticed her hypnotising an innocent market seller with her magical ability, an action that revealed her to be the same kind as him. Jess knows nothing about witches and has no real knowledge of her own true identity, which has been hidden by her folks. But now that Gideon has peaked her interest, she is ready to gain a better understanding of who and what she is. But even though she thinks she is ready to find out the truth of her identity, she had not counted on, at the same time, being so ill-prepared for the emotions and feelings that Gideon’s presence is able to provoke within her! A Witch’s Inner Magic Lara’s village is on the verge of being seized by a new order of witches who expect all other witches to join with them in their battle against humankind – and they will not take no for an answer! Lara is very much concerned that the new order will follow through with their threat and punish her beloved village. But at the same time, she has other pressing matters on her mind – namely her childhood friend Dwight, a witch with no magic to speak of, who is wreaking havoc on her emotions as he tries to persuade her to run away with him so they can be together and escape any potential conflict. But Lara will not leave the place she has grown up in, and which she calls home so easily, leaving Dwight with little choice but to stick by her side and do everything in his power to make sure his one and only love is protected! The Witch’s Fight Lord Daniel Clifford, a powerful witch, is woken up in the middle of the night by his maid Rhiannon, who comes to warn him about a group of witches called the new order who are on their way to imprison him. Daniel is full of outrage at such an attack against him, but controls himself enough to listen to Rhiannon’s rational words and escape before they get their hands on him, allowing him to come back to fight them another day, when the odds are more in his favour. Up until that point, Daniel had always been satisfied to avoid any decision-making with regard to joining the new order of witches who believe in enslaving all humans. But as he spends more time with Rhiannon and acknowledges his growing attraction for her, he eventually comes to understand the decision he must make and the powerful reason behind it!

A Witch’s Touch Ethan is left on his sick bed with fatal battle wounds. Now all he awaits is for death to claim him. Instead, he is visited by a mystery woman who comes to his room each night to care for and nurse him back to good health. He is surprised by his record recovery, but even more so by his strong attraction to his new protector, who gives him a new will to live and grow strong again. Ava is returning a favour from Ethan, who had come to her aid in the past. She will see to it that Ethan lives on and becomes as strong as he was before. However, she has not counted on the favour bringing her closer to her patient as they spend more time together and bond. She knows that she must rid herself of these new found feelings towards Ethan before he finds out the truth about her—that she is a witch—and looks at her with disdain. Can there be any hope that Ethan and Ava will be able to save each other, and make a new, happier life together? To Woo a Witch Connor continues to turn up at Kaelyn’s cabin, determined to get her attention, but Kaelyn is not impressed by his attentions and keeps him at arm’s length. That is, until a violent storm takes place and she reluctantly grants him temporary shelter inside her home. Once in close proximity, Connor tells Kaelyn the surprising truth—that he has seen her in his dreams that started over five years ago, and he is now determined to get to know her better! Kaelyn is as confused by his words as she is by the effect that his presence has over her, as Connor ensures that they become closer—just as he had planned. But in a twist of fate, Kaelyn attempts to use her powers as a witch to save Connor’s sister Christina from an evil manifestation that has settled within the child’s mind.

The mysterious woman, Christina, is both beautiful and kind-hearted, and it is not long before Victor falls in love with her. But Christina is a tormented by a shadowy presence from her past that will not leave her be. Until she exorcises her nemesis, she knows that she cannot be around Victor and give in to the love that she has come to feel for him. The Witch’s Music Rebecca is outraged when the outlaw Nathan catches, robs and kidnaps her. She has little regard or respect for a man who seems to have such a poor moral code. But has Rebecca judged Nathan too quickly? Is it true when he tells her that he doesn’t have a choice in his deeds, and that he is freedom fighting for the good of the vulnerable people of his land against the wicked Lord Greyjoy? When Nathan is captured by Lord Greyjoy’s men, Rebecca must decide what she believes. The only way he stands a chance of being rescued is if she uses her magical flute to cast a spell that might just save his life – and her only chance at understanding her strange attraction to the outlaw is to ensure that Nathan lives.

Book Description
Xanthe meets Brackston's most famous heroine, Elizabeth Hawksmith from The Witch's Daughter, in this crossover story with all the "historical detail, village charm, and twisty plotting" of the Found Things series (Publishers Weekly). City of Time and Magic sees Xanthe face her greatest challenges yet. She must choose from three treasures that sing to her; a beautiful writing slope, a mourning brooch of heartbreaking detail, and a gorgeous gem-set hat pin. All call her, but the wrong one could take her on a mission other than that which she must address first, and the stakes could not be higher.

On the Winter Solstice of their sixteenth year, the two girls walk into their coven's Becoming Ceremony as witches and walk out as exiles.

Book Description
A young woman living in a rigid, puritanical society discovers dark powers within herself in this stunning, feminist fantasy debut. In the lands of Bethel, where the Prophet's word is law, Immanuelle Moore's very existence is blasphemy. Her mother’s union with an outsider of a different race cast her once-proud family into disgrace, so Immanuelle does her best to worship the Father, follow Holy Protocol, and lead a life of submission, devotion, and absolute conformity, like all the other women in the settlement. But a mishap lures her into the forbidden Darkwood surrounding Bethel, where the first prophet once chased and killed four powerful witches. Their spirits are still lurking there, and they bestow a gift on Immanuelle: the journal of her dead mother, who Immanuelle is shocked to learn once sought sanctuary in the wood. Fascinated by the secrets in the diary, Immanuelle finds herself struggling to understand how her mother could have consorted with the witches. But when she begins to learn grim truths about the Church and its history, she realizes the true threat to Bethel is its own darkness. And she starts to understand that if Bethel is to change, it must begin with her.
