Freja Ravenscroft has spent her entire life being the perfect daughter-obedient, pure, and molded to fit the expectations of New England's most powerful witch dynasty. As the heir to the High Priestess, her future has never been her own. Even her engagement to Jake Harrington is a political arrangement, a union meant to strengthen coven alliances and secure her family's influence.
But one month before the wedding, everything shatters.
When Freja walks into Jake's office and discovers him with her half-sister, the betrayal ignites something violent and ancient inside her. A surge of purple magic erupts from her skin-wild, powerful, and impossible to control. Terrified, Freja flees into the city... and straight into the arms of Darek Harrington, Jake's uncle and the most feared warlock in the country.
Darek is a man carved from shadows and secrets, the ruler of the supernatural underworld and owner of The Obsidian Knot, a private club built on power, trust, and forbidden desire. He should terrify her. Instead, the moment he touches her, something deep within her stirs-an instinctive pull, a soulmate bond whispered about in coven legends.
As Freja's magic grows and the truth of her lineage begins to unravel, she is forced to confront the life she was raised for... and the destiny she was never meant to escape. Torn between duty and desire, family and freedom, she must choose whether to remain the obedient daughter her mother demands-or claim the forbidden bond that could change the balance of power forever.
When the wedding day arrives, Freja makes her choice.
And nothing in the coven world will ever be the same.
A story of betrayal, awakening, forbidden love, and a witch discovering the power she was never meant to wield.
