Sinopsis

"The Sinister Coven of Cruor" is the thrilling first installment of The Leclair Witch Chronicles, a spellbinding tale that will captivate readers with its blend of enchantment, suspense, and chilling darkness.
The story unfolds within the secretive confines of The Cruor Academy of Magical Arts, a remote and enigmatic mountaintop school where young witches come to master the art of wielding clandestine powers. It's a place where arcane knowledge is imparted under the shadow of towering mountains and hidden from the prying eyes of the world.
At the heart of this mystical academy are two extraordinary prodigies, Cassandra and Selene. These gifted young witches embark on a journey that will test their abilities and push them to their limits. As they explore the academy's hallowed halls, they inadvertently stumble upon a nightmarish revelation - a revelation that shakes the very foundations of the revered institution. Unbeknownst to the rest of the student body, a sinister evil courses through the core of The Cruor Academy.
Cassandra, with her extraordinary talents, unwittingly draws the attention of a deadly adversary. The layers of deception surrounding the academy begin to unravel, revealing a shadowy cabal of instructors who are more malevolent than anyone could have imagined. Cassandra's formidable powers become the linchpin in a harrowing battle against these sinister figures who dwell in the shadows. Dark magic, seductive and ominous, casts its spell, and Selene grapples with the haunting fear of losing her beloved sister to the encroaching darkness.
Guided by the enigmatic Elowen, a fellow student with a mysterious past, Cassandra, Selene, and their peers race against time to decipher a cryptic prophecy. Their journey takes them into a breathtaking clash with malevolent forces that crescendos into an epic showdown, where the fate of The Cruor Academy and the world of magic itself hangs in the balance.
"The Sinister Coven of Cruor" is a spine-tingling odyssey that takes readers on a roller-coaster ride filled with suspense, horror, and moral quandaries. As you delve into this bewitching world, you'll be drawn into a relentless struggle between the luminous and the obscure. The boundary between light and dark magic blurs, and the fight for survival becomes a witch's darkest nightmare. Hold on tight for this hair-raising expedition into a realm where the arcane and the mystical collide in a captivating narrative that will leave you spellbound.

The Ravenswood Witch - Discover...

Jenni Keer

A truly spellbinding novel from the bestselling author of No.23 Burlington Square, Jenni Keer‘There are a lot of shadows at Ravenswood, so you will need to be strong…’
The year is 1885 and a young woman is on the run, knowing if she’s caught, she’ll be hanged for murder. Moments from a safe haven, she collides with a gruff stranger, falling and breaking her ankle.
To her surprise, the man – Marcus Greybourne – convinces the local constable that she is his reclusive wife of ten years, Luna. He carries her back to the neglected and crumbling Ravenswood Hall, promising if she agrees to maintain this charade, he will keep her safe until her injuries have healed.
But the house is haunted by shadows and secrets. What’s more, the real Luna Greybourne is missing, without trace. Scratches and marks made by her around the house suggest witchcraft; and indeed Luna is known locally as the Ravenswood Witch; her reputation in tatters, like the wallpapers of the padlocked rooms she’d destroyed.
As strange happenings in the house continue, outside the screech of a raven echoes across oppressive woods that seem alive with dark magic. And the woman who is now pretending to be Luna can’t help but fear she’s escaped the noose for a far more terrible fate…
A completely compelling and unforgettable historical bookclub read – fans of Jane Eyre, Weyward and The Binding will be utterly spellbound.
