Witch Season - (Broken Coven) by Julia Bianco (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

Exhilarating, dangerous, and seductive, Witch Season is an action-packed and fiercely romantic contemporary fantasy from debut author and screenwriter Julia Bianco.

That is the price of magic-not just the blood, but the pain to bring it out.

Katherine Barnes is an enforcer, charged with upholding the rules of the notorious Los Angeles-based Aestas coven. It's her job to maintain order and bring unsettled witches-people who aren't aware they have magic until it explodes out of them in a catastrophic burst-into the coven's fold. As a former unsettled witch, Katherine owes her life to Sylvia Page, coven leader and silver-haired rebel who founded Aestas years ago.

When Silas Khatri, heir to Noctis, the most powerful coven in the world, arrives to take Aestas to task for some of their more unconventional practices, Katherine's dislike for him reaches blistering levels. She hates his money, his good looks, his coven's dangerous attitude towards unsettled witches. She can absolutely overlook that he sets her off in more ways than one.

But a powerful threat is about to rise. Stronger than any one coven. More insidious than the decades-long power struggle that exists in the hidden witch world. One that will pull Katherine and Silas together despite their differences. And one that will lead to an all-out war.

Review Quotes

"Bianco writes a compelling, addictive story with beautifully flawed characters. Witch Season was a phenomenal read. A tale of blood-sacrifice and self-sacrifice, of the collision of witchcraft and modern life, of the price of privilege. Action-packed, unapologetically violent, and somehow culminating, amidst the carnage, with a gorgeous message of hope. Just my kind of read. Brilliant!" --Brigitte Knightley, New York Times bestselling author of The Irresistible Urge to Fall For Your Enemy

"Witch Season is an absolutely stellar debut from Julia Bianco. I had the very best time reading it! In fact, putting the book down for any length of time proved nigh on impossible. I both relished it as a reader and admired it as a writer. The characters were masterfully evoked, the magic system so well-constructed that it felt real, and the story itself quite simply riveting. I have no doubt that fans of witchy books are going to love this as much as I did." --USA Today bestselling author, India Holton

"Witch Season pulls you into a world where magic leaves marks - on skin, on memory, and on the quiet places grief refuses to leave. Tightly woven and full of intrigue, this witchy urban fantasy is brimming with magic, betrayal, and an undercurrent of desire that hums through the chaos." --Logan Karlie, author of Dream by the Shadows
