An ancient ritual awakens dormant powers – and a tangled mystery.

Birdie, Morgana, and Odette are the three resident witches of Moonfell, the magical Gothic mansion that lies at the edge of Richmond Park in London. They are responsible for maintaining the centuries old magic that is woven deep in the roots of the estate.

When Morgana's son and his cousin join them to celebrate Ostara, the three witches decide to honour the lore of the house by introducing them to the bees in the orchard.

However, the ritual brings past catastrophic events to the present, and plunges the estate into chaos.

Four hundred years earlier, Eliza Wildblood is desperate to revive the flagging fortunes of Moonfell by finding wealthy patrons willing to pay for the family’s magical abilities – discreetly, of course.

Her younger sister, Jacinta, is keen to help, but accidentally summons an ancient, powerful creature into the heart of Moonfell with devastating consequences.

In the present, events are more baffling than they first realise. Birdie’s familiar vanishes, and frantic with worry she turns to their friends, the Storm Moon Shifters, to help find him.

It seems Moonfell’s past hides secrets that even the witches didn't know.

Moonfell Witches

The series

Full series details →

At the edge of an ancient forest where shadows move like whispers and magic clings to the stones, the witches of Moonfell keep quiet watch. Their world is one of ritual, secrets, and the lingering echoes of power too old to name. But when a fragile peace fractures, and long-buried forces begin to stir, the coven finds themselves drawn into a fight that tests not just their craft—but their loyalty, courage, and connection to something greater than themselves.

Read full series description

The Moonfell Witches series doesn’t rush its magic. Instead, it simmers—building atmosphere through fog-laced moors, crumbling ancestral halls, and the unspoken rules of a hidden magical society. Here, spells aren’t thrown for spectacle, but for protection, for healing, for survival. The witches aren’t chosen—they choose each other. That quiet, resolute bond forms the heart of the story, even as darker forces press in from the margins.

Told with an understated intensity, this series weaves together slow-burn suspense, folk horror, and a deep reverence for the natural world. The pacing is deliberate, the stakes personal, and the magic feels lived-in—raw, earthy, and dangerous. Fans of atmospheric witch fiction and character-driven fantasy will find something quietly powerful here.

For those drawn to stories where magic pulses beneath the surface of the mundane, and where every choice carries weight, Moonfell offers a world you won’t soon forget.
