The Witch Beneath the Crown

In the cold northern kingdom of Valedor, witches are not feared because they are evil, they are feared because they are powerful. Forced into service and weaponized by the crown, most spend their lives hidden or hunted.
After her father trades her to the castle in exchange for his own freedom, Juniper Evernight is brought to the royal palace to serve as a simple healer. Quiet, guarded, and desperate to keep her true identity hidden, Juniper conceals the dangerous magic running beneath her skin behind an enchanted necklace left to her by her late mother.
King Elias Mooncrest has trusted almost no one since his parents were assassinated and the crown was forced upon him at eighteen. Cold, sharp tongued, and haunted by grief, Elias rules a kingdom filled with secrets, betrayal, and growing unrest.
But strange things begin happening within the castle.
Wounds heal too quickly.
Storms gather without warning.
And whenever Juniper is near, Elias feels something ancient stirring beneath the surface of his kingdom.
As hidden magic awakens and enemies close in around the throne, Juniper and Elias find themselves drawn toward one another despite every reason to stay apart. Because if the kingdom discovers what Juniper truly is, Elias may be forced to choose between protecting his crown... or protecting the witch beneath it.
