About This Book

The small and discrete community of witches and wizards who make New York City their home, including successful writer Holly McClure, must use their magic to protect the city when a black coven threatens to unleash its terror.

Our Review

This urban fantasy plunges readers into a secret society of witches and wizards operating in the heart of New York City, where successful writer Holly McClure discovers her quiet life is a fragile illusion. When a malevolent black coven emerges with plans to unleash magical terror upon the city, Holly and her hidden community must rally their powers to defend their home from supernatural destruction, blending the familiar streets of Manhattan with a hidden world of arcane threats and magical warfare.

Rawn excels at grounding her magical conflict in a tangible, modern setting, making the stakes feel immediate and the danger visceral for both the characters and the city they protect. Readers who enjoy stories where magic simmers just beneath the surface of contemporary life will find a compelling narrative that explores the cost of power and the responsibility that comes with it. The result is a gripping urban fantasy that will leave you looking at the city's shadows with a newfound sense of wonder and dread.
