Description:

The thrilling and epic conclusion to the dangerous world of power and betrayal that began with the bestselling book Witch Season by Julia Bianco.

If you play with magic, you might get burned

Katherine Barnes' world is in shambles. After the battle between Aestas Coven and her volatile ex-mentor and confidant, Sylvia Page, their safe haven was all but destroyed, casting out hundreds of unsettled witches into the night. Never mind that Katherine is still reeling from her and Silas Khatri's devastating split. She doesn't care that he's now the head of Noctis and the most powerful witch in the country--she never wants to see him again.

Now her goals are simple:
-Rebuild her coven.
-Rescue the endangered unsettled witches.
-Hate Silas Khatri with every ounce of energy she has left.

But magic does not rest. A new threat is rising, one that makes Sylvia look like a lap cat. And Silas has unfinished business with Katherine that will shatter everything she's worked for. Now a war is upon them, threatening not just the sanctity of the witch world but also the balance of human existence. It's time to lay it all on the magical line and protect everything at stake... or watch it all go down in flames.

Review Quotes:

Praise for Witch Season:

"Perfect for urban fantasy readers and fans of Kim Harrison, Kelley Armstrong, Leigh Bardugo, and Ilona Andrews." --Library Journal (Starred Review)

"Bianco writes a compelling, addictive story with beautifully flawed characters. Witch Season was a phenomenal read. A tale of blood-sacrifice and self-sacrifice, of the collision of witchcraft and modern life, of the price of privilege. Action-packed, unapologetically violent, and somehow culminating, amidst the carnage, with a gorgeous message of hope. Just my kind of read. Brilliant!" --Brigitte Knightley, New York Times bestselling author of The Irresistible Urge to Fall For Your Enemy

"Witch Season is an absolutely stellar debut from Julia Bianco. I had the very best time reading it! In fact, putting the book down for any length of time proved nigh on impossible. I both relished it as a reader and admired it as a writer. The characters were masterfully evoked, the magic system so well-constructed that it felt real, and the story itself quite simply riveting. I have no doubt that fans of witchy books are going to love this as much as I did." --USA Today bestselling author, India Holton

"Witch Season pulls you into a world where magic leaves marks - on skin, on memory, and on the quiet places grief refuses to leave. Tightly woven and full of intrigue, this witchy urban fantasy is brimming with magic, betrayal, and an undercurrent of desire that hums through the chaos." --Logan Karlie, New York Times bestselling author of Dream by the Shadows

"A delightful urban romantasy... will leave readers pining for the next installment." --Booklist

"Bianco's entertaining debut introduces a world where magic is paid for in blood and pain... [the] chemistry is undeniable. It's an exciting start." --Publishers Weekly
