Spellcast

How do you break a witch's curse?

Sunday Times bestselling author Sophie Jordan returns with an all-new epic romantasy standalone of witches and dragons, set in the high-stakes world of A Fire in the Sky and A Scar in the Bone.

***

For ten long years, Arden has been invisible, trapped in her village by a spell she cannot break. Living like a ghost among those who’ve forgotten her, she dreams of vengeance against the witch who cursed her.

Until one fateful day, her village is devoured in flame, and everything changes.

From the wreckage rises a pride of dragons that can transform into humans. Their piercing eyes slice through her curse, and for the first time in a decade, Arden can be seen.

Swept off to the Crags by the enigmatic alpha dragon, Tage, Arden is forced into a world of fire and power, drawn unwillingly to Tage’s fiery intensity.

But Arden’s fate is bound to a secret she has yet to uncover. With war on the horizon, she must decide whether to harness the wild magic around her, or risk losing everything.

Sometimes all it takes to break a curse… is to cast another spell.
