"Your destiny is not to do what is right. Your destiny is to destroy us all."Willow Madizza never thought she'd accept a place at Hollow's Grove University, the secret and prestigious institution where the best and brightest of her fellow witches learn to wield their magic. But Willow has reasons for being at Hollow's Grove beyond the education it offers. Raised to be a weapon against the Coven that presides over the University, she must find the bones of her ancestors in order to reclaim the magic that is her destiny. Her only obstacle is Alaric Grayson Thorne, the University's beautiful and infuriating Headmaster. Gray is ruthless, manipulative, dangerous - he represents everything Willow has been taught to despise. But despite their mutual loathing, Gray understands Willow better than anyone, and he might just be the key to unlocking her full power . . . -Readers devoured The Coven!'A gripping, sexy, atmospheric read''A deliciously dark, enemies to lovers, forbidden romance set in an academy for witches''Something just hits different when vampires are involved''The twists and turns this story took had me speechless!''Loved this book from start to finish . . . the author really had me on the edge of my seat with the cliffhanger!''The chemistry is off the charts'_Featuring all your favourite tropes!- Witches, vampires, demons- Delicious spice payoff- Morally grey MMC- Forbidden romance- Dark academia- Forced proximityThe Coven is book one in the Coven of Bones series and ends on a cliffhanger.
