The Ash Trials

A young witch must join forces with the boy she once loved in the magical Ash Trials to earn sanctuary for both their feuding families—or risk losing their magic forever. A bewitching romantic fantasy perfect for fans of Lightlark and Powerless.

Iris Montparsson and her two sisters are the only surviving members of their great witch coven, and they’re running out of magic. Their altar—the center of their power—has stopped refilling, and Witch Hunters are closing in. The Montparssons must resort to the joining forces with their enemy, the Landevilles, to enter the annual Ash Trials.

The Ash Trials take place at Gallows House, a glittering and opulent mansion that only appears once a year, on Halo’swen. Winning brings sanctuary; defeat brings death. But allying with the enemy means Iris will have to partner with August Landeville . . . the boy she once foolishly fell in love with.

Their new alliance is tentative—and for Iris, the thought of working with August seems impossible when her heartbreak never truly healed. But what is heartbreak when winning the Ash Trials is her only hope of survival for herself, and all she loves?
