HEART OF WAR
A Dark Fantasy Novel
In a forest settlement where witches cannot live near cities without being detected, concealment is survival. The coven follows a single law: no witch may consume another witch's heart. The act grants immense power-but makes the witch easier to sense, easier to hunt, and impossible to hide.
Twelve years ago, Lina Veylin's mother, Alira, broke that rule publicly to save the village. The coven survived-but they have lived exposed ever since. When Lina discovers that her father and aunt are engaged in a secret affair, she understands how fragile their unity truly is. Her failure to contain the truth fractures the coven along bloodlines and old resentments, igniting a blood feud that makes them even more detectable to rival witches and hunters closing in on the forest. As enemies gather and the village tears itself apart, Alira's daughters must decide whether to preserve the law that keeps them hidden-or embrace the same forbidden power that saved them once before. Strength ensures survival. But at what cost?
