Magic. Secrets. First love. And a curse that could destroy everything.

Sixteen-year-old Mark has always known his grandmother was a witch. In the Yorkshire countryside, strange family traditions and Winter Solstice celebrations are just part of life. But when his Nanna finally reveals the truth about his family heritage, Mark is given a choice: learn real witchcraft… or walk away.

As Mark begins to explore magic, a mysterious new student arrives at school. Damian is handsome, guarded, and carrying far more baggage than anyone realises. Drawn together by friendship and growing feelings, Mark soon discovers there’s something deeply wrong. Tragedy follows Damian wherever he goes, and Mark becomes convinced that a dark curse is at work.

As winter closes in and ancient forces begin to stir, Mark is thrown into a world of spells, danger and impossible choices. Because saving Damian may mean risking everything — and some magic comes with a price far greater than anyone expects.

Perfect for fans of LGBTQ+ urban fantasy, found family, slow-burn romance, and magical adventures with heart.

Winter Trials is the spellbinding first book in the bestselling Northern Witch series.
