"The witches burned.

The hunters vanished.

But their bloodlines never died.”

Centuries ago, witches burned in Scotland.

Their covens were shattered. Their names were recorded, they were hunted, then erased. Those who survived were forced into silence, their magic buried deep within their bloodlines. But blood remembers.

In the wake of an ancient tome’s discovery—one tied to Scotland’s darkest past—Eliza Swan has done what no witch has dared for generations. She has awakened the coven.

Hidden within the walls of her grandmother’s home, a new circle of witches rises, bound by ancient magic and a legacy that refuses to stay buried. But the return of witchfire has not gone unnoticed.

For as long as the witches have endured, so too have those sworn to destroy them. Born from the ashes of the Scottish witch trials, the Ashen Order has waited in the shadows, watching for the first sign of magic’s return. Now, with the coven reborn, their purpose is clear once more. The hunt has begun again.

As old bloodlines awaken across Scotland and beyond, Eliza must lead a coven still learning its power against an enemy that has spent centuries preparing for this moment. Because this is more than a fight for survival. It is a war written in ash and fire—and it will decide whether witches remain hidden… or rise once more.

Perfect for fans of A Discovery of Witches and Serpent & Dove, this dark fantasy reimagines the Scottish witch trials through a modern coven, ancient bloodlines, and a war that never truly ended.
