When Odette uncovers centuries-old masquerade masks in the attic, along with a cryptic warning, she assumes she’s stumbled upon a long-buried family scandal. But the ornate Venetian masks and domino cloaks are no mere relics. They remember.
In 1754, twin witches Sorrel and Wintermere Westerly are on the brink of their twenty-first birthday, preparing for the most opulent masquerade Moonfell has ever hosted. But an uninvited guest—dangerously curious about Moonfell’s moon gates—threatens to expose secrets even the family doesn’t know they’re keeping, forcing the High Priestess Mia to act fast.
As modern-day Moonfell prepares for its own midsummer celebration, mirrors begin to stir, impossible paths appear, and the estate itself grows unsettlingly unstable.
Some mysteries span centuries.
Some magic refuses to be forgotten.
And at Moonfell, midnight always brings revelations.
Perfect for fans of Deborah Harkness and Nora Roberts—and for readers of the White Haven Witches—Gilded Moon blends historical mystery with contemporary magic in a richly atmospheric tale of family legacy, ancient power, and long-buried secrets rising at last.
The series
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.
