The Gilded Coven

She entered the ballroom a debutante. She left it a witch.

New York, 1885. Cora Thorne is eighteen years old, an heiress of new money navigating the glittering, treacherous world of Fifth Avenue society. But at the Vanderbilt ball, beneath the unwavering light of a thousand candles, she discovers that the opulence is a façade—and that magic is real.

The mirrors do not merely reflect. The candles do not flicker by accident. And the powerful women who rule New York's social elite are the guardians of an ancient secret the Coven of Starlight, a sisterhood of witches sworn to protect the city from the shadows. Cora is the heir to a dormant power bound in her bloodline for three generations, and now that power is waking. A rival coven, the ruthless Gilded Circle, will stop at nothing to control her—or destroy her.

Caught between a secret world of spell-binding glamour and a shadow war that has raged for two centuries, Cora must navigate hidden betrayals within the Coven itself, confront a darkly charismatic enemy with a shadow that moves on its own, and unravel the truth behind her great-grandmother's forbidden sacrifice. As the Gilded Age's obsession with spiritualism and scandal reaches its peak, Cora must decide: remain a pawn in a hidden war, or become the leader of a new era of magic.

A Discovery of Witches meets The Age of Innocence in this lush, suspenseful historical fantasy, where the most dangerous magic is the truth, and the greatest power lies in stepping into the light.

Perfect for fans of historical fantasy, supernatural suspense, and stories of women reclaiming their power.
