The book that launched the internationally bestselling Witch-Hunter series — a gripping urban fantasy of dark magic, ancient duty, and impossible attraction.

Hunter Astley has one purpose in life: to hunt witches.
Charming, wealthy, and ruthlessly effective, Hunter is the product of a long line of witch-hunters — bound to the Malleus Maleficarum Council, dedicated to keeping the world safe from those who wield dark magic. It’s a life he knows well. A life he controls.
But something is stirring in the shadows. A new and terrifying power is rising — the Shadow Witch — unlike anything the Council has ever faced. She is gathering the witches, building an army, and no one knows where she will strike next.
When a young woman named Sophie comes into Hunter’s world, he lets his guard down for the first time in years. But in the war between witch-hunters and witches, nothing is as it seems — and the greatest threat may already be closer than Hunter ever imagined. As ancient magic awakens and dark forces converge on the English countryside, Hunter will discover that his bloodline holds secrets that could change everything — and that the line between enemy and ally is far more dangerous than he ever believed.

The Shadow Rises is the first book in K.S. Marsden’s internationally bestselling Witch-Hunter series — a fast-paced, darkly romantic urban fantasy perfect for fans of the supernatural, slow-burn tension, and worlds where magic and the modern collide.

Bitter memories and suppressed emotions bubble to the surface in The Warlock, an epic fantasy adventure that follows the tumultuous relationship between the lost traveler Carin and her mysterious rescuer. He proves to be more her captor, a darkly dangerous wizard who draws her into schemes of magical power and possible murder. There’s a world to save, even if it costs Carin her life.

The intricate plot centers on Carin’s quest to discover her identity and her destiny. As the warlock’s unwilling “guest” in a mystical alternate reality that evokes medieval Europe, the determined young woman glimpses another world she had once called home. It lies upon a shore that seems unreachable. To learn where she belongs and how to get there, Carin must decipher the words of a fantastical book, follow the clues in a bewitched poem, conjure a dragon from a pool of magic … and tread carefully around a hot-tempered, emotionally scarred sorcerer who can’t seem to decide whether to love her or kill her. The relationship between Carin and the wizard grows increasingly complex, balancing in a tense power struggle as, together, they navigate a world of dangers while yearning for redemption, a sense of belonging, and maybe a little unconventional romance.

With elements of environmental fantasy and dystopian undercurrents, and the immersive suspense of a murder mystery, Waterspell is a cross-genre saga with too many layers for a single label. Unpredictable plot twists and compelling characters weave a binge-worthy series that will captivate lovers of imaginative, emotional, dramatic storytelling. Perfect for fans of the Winternight and Black Magician trilogies.

The Warlock is Book 1 of the series. The enemies-to-lovers relationship is a true slow-burn, developing fully in Books 2-4: The Wysard, The Wisewoman, and The Witch.

The saga carries on into a new generation with a pair of linked sequels, The Karenina Chronicles and The Fires of Farsinchia.

When her mother dies after a long illness, Ingrid Torfa must sell the family home to cover the medical bills. Her career as a book illustrator not yet exactly launched, Ingrid faces two options: live in her battered old Volkswagen, or go back to her mother’s small town in northern Minnesota.

The small town that still haunts her dreams more than a decade since she last visited it. Or rather, not the town but the grandmother.

All of the drawings she fills notebooks with witches and the trolls that do their bidding? Not as whimsical in her nightmares as she sketches them in the bright light of day.

If not for her beloved cat Mjolner, living in the Volkswagen just might tempt her.

But the cat wants four walls and a door, so north she goes. And finds trouble in the form of a dead body before she even finds her grandmother’s little town. How much can a town of stoic fishermen possibly be hiding?

As Ingrid is about to find out, quite a lot.

An ambitious orphan. A ruthless warlord. An impossible destiny.

Arya Nameless is a lowly Raider posted to an isolated fort in the most dangerous place in Dunidaen. She has few prospects, and as much as she loves her fellow soldiers, she burns for more—more control, more autonomy, more power.

When her bravery during an unexpected attack leads to an offer to join the household of one of Dunidaen’s warlords, Arya finds a home and family she never expected. Yet her quicksilver temper and fierce pride put her place there at constant risk.

And as her warlord embroils them all in a dangerous political game to rule Dunidaen, over the border to the west, the Nightstalker lurks. A king who wields powerful magic, the Nightstalker’s fate is inextricably entwined with Arya’s. His relentless pursuit will force Arya into a choice she doesn’t want to make … between the family she would die to protect, and the power she may need to destroy everything he stands for.

Perfect for readers who love wyvern bonds, dangerous courts, fierce found family, and an underdog’s rise to a stolen throne — a complete four-book epic fantasy
