A WITCH FATED TO RISE. A TRUCE ABOUT TO CRUMBLE. ONE WOMAN TO STAND BETWEEN PEACE AND RUIN.
As the youngest daughter of the Prime of the New Orleans witches, Seraphine Berreau should have been her family's crowning jewel. Instead, she was their shameful secretβfeared for her deadly power to feed on magic and make it her own.
When her mother dies, the title of Prime unexpectedly passes to Phine, forcing her to return to the city she fled ten years ago. But between an alpha werewolf ex, power-hungry vampires, and a parasitic curse poisoning witches, Phine has her work cut out for her.
To save her people, Phine must rise and embrace her duty, earn the respect of those who once shunned her, and confront the monsters both within her cityβand within her past.
A reclusive witch reclaims her power in Witch Queen Rising, the dark, decadent, and haunting fantasy horror from Savannah Stephens, and the first book in the Blood and Magic duology. Perfect for fans of Anne Rice and The Originals TV series.
