Human Rites

THE COVEN IS BACK in HUMAN RITES, the spectacular, hotly anticipated conclusion to Juno Dawson’s SUNDAY TIMES NUMBER ONE bestselling HER MAJESTY’S ROYAL COVEN series.

The Coven is reunited but broken…

Niamh is back from the dead … but she hasn’t come back alone. Elle mourns a son she never had. Ciara languishes in a prison for witches. And Leonie reels from a very unexpected surprise.

Five very different witches with one thing in common: they were unwittingly chosen by the dangerously charming Lucifer, the demon king of desire, to fulfil a dark prophecy.

But Lucifer has deadly offer for fledgling witch Theo: help him and her coven – her family – will be spared as the rest of humanity perishes in a hellish new reality. Save the ones she loves? Or save the world? The choice is hers…

The final confrontation between good and evil is about to commence in the spectacular conclusion to the insatiable Her Majesty’s Royal Coven.
