What happens when what you've been taught to destroy turns out to be the only thing worth saving?
When Rowan finds the witch hunter who branded her mother bleeding out in the woods, she almost leaves him for dead. But he’s the monster, not her.
Instead, she drags him home, heals his wounds, and strikes a bargain: her knowledge of the cursed woods in exchange for enough coin to give her mother back the life he stole from her.
Captain Casrian Dain has spent his life hunting witches for the Church. He’s never questioned his duty—until he meets Rowan, a lovely, infuriating angel. Or possibly a witch.
Bound by necessity, they set out to hunt a demon-ridden witch through a dying forest where the trees whisper and the shadows have claws. As Rowan's secrets unravel and Casrian's convictions begin to crack, they find themselves tangled in a desire that could destroy them both.
Because if Rowan’s magic is discovered, Casrian will be duty-bound to hunt her—but if he chooses her instead, they'll both burn.
Perfect for fans of slow-burn enemies-to-lovers romance and dark, atmospheric fantasy.
DAUGHTER OF BLOOD AND BRIAR is the first book in The Warded Kingdoms trilogy.
