Exhilarating, dangerous, and seductive, Witch Season is an action-packed and fiercely romantic contemporary fantasy from debut author and screenwriter Julia Bianco.

That is the price of magic–not just the blood, but the pain to bring it out.

Katherine Barnes is an enforcer, charged with upholding the rules of the notorious Los Angeles-based Aestas coven. It’s her job to maintain order and bring unsettled witches–people who aren’t aware they have magic until it explodes out of them in a catastrophic burst–into the coven’s fold. As a former unsettled witch, Katherine owes her life to Sylvia Page, coven leader and silver-haired rebel who founded Aestas years ago.

When Silas Khatri, heir to Noctis, the most powerful coven in the world, arrives to take Aestas to task for some of their more unconventional practices, Katherine’s dislike for him reaches blistering levels. She hates his money, his good looks, his coven’s dangerous attitude towards unsettled witches. She can absolutely overlook that he sets her off in more ways than one.

But a powerful threat is about to rise. Stronger than any one coven. More insidious than the decades-long power struggle that exists in the hidden witch world. One that will pull Katherine and Silas together despite their differences. And one that will lead to an all-out war.

Beneath the glittering streets of Los Angeles, a hidden world of witches thrives, bound by ancient rules, secret rivalries, and fragile alliances. In the Broken Coven series, magic is neither simple nor safe, it demands loyalty, cunning, and the willingness to pay its steepest price.

Read full series description

At the heart of this world is Katherine Barnes, a former "unsettled" witch now navigating the delicate balance of power as an enforcer for the Aestas coven. When Silas Khatri, heir to the enigmatic Noctis coven, appears with his own agenda, their uneasy partnership forces them to confront not only external threats but the shadows within themselves. As their journeys intertwine, the line between friend and foe blurs, and the consequences of every choice ripple through a society teetering on the edge of chaos.

Richly imagined and pulsing with tension, the series blends contemporary fantasy, intricate coven politics, and deeply personal stakes. Themes of identity, trust, and the cost of power weave through every chapter, creating a story that is both darkly atmospheric and emotionally resonant. Readers are drawn into a world where every spell carries weight, every alliance is fragile, and every character must reckon with what they are willing to sacrifice for survival.

The Broken Coven series captivates with layered characters, suspenseful plots, and a world that feels both familiar and enchantingly dangerous, a contemporary fantasy saga where magic is as unpredictable as the hearts that wield it.
