A gothic enemies-to-lovers romantasy inspired by Romeo and Juliet, filled with betrayal, glamour and cursed magic, perfect for fans of Belladonna and The Wycherleys. The Montparssons and the Landevilles - two enemy witch covens - have been at war for centuries...and they're running out of magic. If it vanishes completely, the Witch Hunters will find and kill them all. In desperation, Iris Montparsson and August Landeville turn to The Ash Trials - a contest that offers sanctuary. But not every coven can win and not everyone will survive the brutal challenges. Iris is horrified to be paired with her hated enemy - and first love - August to face the Trials. But as buried feelings rise to the surface, can they find a way to work together to save their families?
