Hidden among us is a secret coven of witches. They are Her Majesty’s Royal Coven. They protect crown and country from magical forces and otherworldly evil. But their greatest enemy will come from within.
There are whisperings of a prophecy that will bring the coven to its knees, and five best friends are about to be caught at the centre. Life as a modern witch was never simple … but now it’s about to get apocalyptic.
Prepare to be bewitched by Juno Dawson’s first adult series. A story of ancient prophecies and modern dating, of sacred sisterhood and demonic frenemies.
I wasn't sure I was going to be into this book for some time while reading it. But by the end, I was hooked and am instantly ready for the next book in the series.
A royally riveting read! The story uses elements from across this fantasy genre, but weaves them into a story of discovery, of reflection on what we truly know about our friends, and about how far we’d go to protect those who need it most. Particularly interesting is how much this story reinvigorates tales of witches and warlocks as part of the modern age, rather than the last decade’s primary outlet for this simply rehashing old tropes as tired secret school drama. I genuinely cannot wait for the next instalment!
