Viper & Lilies

Bridgerton meets romantasy from this stellar debut voice, as three sisters from a family of hunters must keep their enchantress bloodline a secret - or risk becoming the hunted. Beginning of a trilogy full of enchanting magic, steamy romance, female rage and dark secrets. 'A whimsical, magical tale' Ava Reid 'A 5-star romantasy' Jade Presley 'Brimming with feminine rage' Brooke Fast 'An enchanting and addicting debut steeped in magic and secrets' I.V. Marie 'Brimming with delicious romance, spellbinding intrigue, and the tenderness of sisterhood' Sasha Peyton Smith * Serafina, the eldest and steward of the family name. Carena, an unnatural beauty. Kitarni, impetuous and free-spirited. The Maeve sisters live at the top of high society. Their legacy - their ancestor hunted down enchantresses, women blessed with magic - has given them fame, fortune, and, above all, protection. When they discover an academic at the Vonstein Institute claims to have evidence that Enchantresses escaped the Hunt, the Maeve sisters are quick to dispel these rumors and defend their family's legacy. They move into the Institute for the summer, prepared to silence the suspicions by whatever means necessary - even if it means using their forbidden Enchantress magic that they've kept hidden their whole lives. Their summer is going to be far from easy. Serafina will do anything to protect her sisters from the infuriatingly attractive man looking to expose them. Carena is smothered by the attention of suitors and confused by her growing attachment to the woman helping her. And Kitarni, soon to be married to a foreign prince, is distracted by the handsome ex-soldier in the stables. The Maeve sisters must hide their magic and guard their hearts if they're going to survive; but as suspicions grow, war looms, and bodies drop, their bonds are tested. And one misstep by any sister will cause the downfall for all three...
