The Coven: Coven of Bones, Book 1

by Ellis Evans Harper L. Woods

4.2

Raised to be a weapon for her father, Willow Thorn enters the secretive world of Crystal Hollow with one goal: to protect her younger brother from the dark legacy that haunts their family. As she enrolls at the prestigious Hollow’s Grove University, she discovers a sanctuary for magical beings to hone their craft away from human eyes. However, the school’s hallowed halls hide a bloody, fifty-year-old secret that threatens to resurface. Amidst this tension, Willow finds herself locking horns with the infuriatingly beautiful Headmaster, Alaric Grayson Thorne. Their relationship is a high-stakes game of enemies-to-lovers, defined by intense animosity and undeniable chemistry. As they are forced into proximity, the friction between them grows as volatile as the mysteries surrounding the academy. With the Coven finally opening its wards to the "Thirteen"—a group of elite students destined for greatness—Willow must navigate the cutthroat politics of the university while uncovering the truth behind a past massacre. This dark academia paranormal romance delivers a fast-paced, suspenseful journey filled with forbidden tension and shocking revelations. Be warned: the path to the truth is dangerous, and this gripping tale concludes with a heart-stopping cliffhanger that leaves everything in the balance.

Moody, sensual, Gothic romance

Image 107: A 1x1 image, likely be a tacker probe Amazon Customer](javascript:void(0)) 5 out of 5 stars Moody, sensual, Gothic romance From the first paragraphs, The Coven held me spellbound within its pages. A classic Gothic romance, this thrilling tale is everything you want in a darker romance. It's atmospheric, sensual, shrouded in shadows with shades of black and gray. The color coming from flashes of light reflected from the character's eyes, or the spilling of blood across an alabaster throat. The setting itself is as central to the story as the main characters. The story bleeds with suspense, intrigue, revenge, life, death and rebirth. Willow is a witch raised to be an instrument of revenge against the Coven that murdered her father's sister. Alaric Grayson Thorne is a Vessel, a vampire who is also the headmaster of Hollow's Grove University. The Coven sends him to collect Willow when her magic makes itself known. Thorne underestimates Willow, and Willow takes great delight putting the smug headmaster in his place. Twice. Their battle of wills is heart pounding, and sets the tempo for their entire relationship. The writing is phenomenal. There are multiple plots and subplots woven throughout the book. The magic of these witches is fascinating, as is their relationship to the Vessels. The world building using a Gothic setting is not only unique, but allows for the genre's darker elements to be used to great effect. I was completely captivated by this book. The sharp dialogue, the story premise, the setting, and the jaw dropping reveal leading to the cliffhanger had my pulse thundering with each turn of the page. Waiting for the next book is going to be hard, but believe me, The Coven is worth the book hangover.

2 4.2 out of 5 stars](javascript:void(0))(22,832) Book 1 of 4: Coven of Bones Best of BookTok Sorry, there was a problem loading this page. Try again. See all formats and editions 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 Groves’ victims don’t kill them first... The Coven is book one in the Coven of Bones series and ends on a cliffhanger. This is a gothic, dark-academia, paranormal romance and includes elements that may be triggering to some listeners. ) ©2023 Harper L Woods (P)2023 Dreamscape Media Previous slide of product details 1.
