Book Synopsis

Darkly magical and full of yearning, Quiet Spells is a dark academia contemporary fantasy from TikTok sensation Isa Agajanian. With witchcraft, found family and characters to fall in love with, it is perfect for fans of A Discovery of Witches and Divine Rivals.

Ghosts passed through the cottage sitting on the peak of Townsend Hill like passengers in a train station. Some, Teddy Ingram knew, stayed longer than others.

More than half a year has passed since the disappearance of Gemma Eakley, and Teddy Ingram still has no clue as to whether she is alive, dead or something worse. With Gemma's young daughter left in his care, Teddy haunts the rural haven of Townsend like one of its many spirits.

But then Aurelia - his beloved ex-rival - returns with the news that her own mother is dead - and a ghost forms from the pages of her farewell to give the would-be lovers a message: They won't let me rest.

One coven's efforts to reverse the looming extinction of witches involves resurrecting the dead. Her mother's old coven wants to know what secrets she took with her to the funeral pyre; did she have the key to fixing their botched attempts at necromancy?

From the acclaimed author of Modern Divination comes the dark and magical concluding part of the Spells for Life and Death duology.
