About

A gorgeous trade paperback edition featuring beautiful sprayed edges!

From indie darling Harper L. Woods comes THE COVEN, a sexy, deliciously imaginative fantasy romance where The Magicians meets Ninth House with vampires.

Revenge.

Raised to be my father’s weapon against the Coven that took away his sister and his birthright, I would do anything to protect my younger brother from suffering the same fate. My duty forces me to the secret town of Crystal Hollow and the prestigious Hollow’s Grove University—where the best and brightest of my kind learn to practice their magic free from human judgment.

There are no whispered words here. No condemnation for the blood that flows through my veins. The only animosity I face comes from the beautiful and infuriating Headmaster, Alaric Grayson Thorne, a man who despises me just as much as I loathe him and everything he stands for.

But that doesn’t mean secrets don’t threaten to tear the school in two. No one talks about the bloody massacre that forced it to close decades prior, only the opportunity it can afford to those fortunate enough to attend.

Because for the first time in fifty years, the Coven will open its wards to the Thirteen.

Thirteen promising students destined to change the world.

If the ghosts of Hollow’s Grove’s victims don’t kill them first.

Key Themes

  • Weaponized identity — raised as her father's instrument of revenge, she must choose her own path.
  • Haunted campus, literal ghosts — the massacre's dead are restless and not ready to be forgotten.
  • Magic as belonging — a world of open witchcraft still refuses to make her feel welcome.
  • Power hidden beneath hatred — the Headmaster's contempt masks something far more dangerous than anger.
  • Chosen and expendable — being one of the Thirteen feels like honor until the cost becomes clear.
