Tana has been betrothed to the Governor’s son, Landon, from the Mainland since she was born. The marriage would help to seal an alliance between her coven on the island and the humans on the Mainland who see them as a threat. Tana’s coven limits the use of their powers so as to not cause worry to the mainlanders – in order to do this, the coven releases their unused powers into the ocean on the night of the full moon each month.

But when Tana misses the ritual, there is no one who can help her – until she meets Wolfe, a witch who claims to be from a hidden coven on the island that practices dark (high) magic. Instead of rushing her powers out into the sea, Wolfe teaches her how to use the magic he knows, and that magic makes Tana feel alive and powerful.

As Tana learns more and more about the differences between the magic she grew up with and the magic that Wolfe does, she begins to understand the danger her coven is putting on not only the island, but the Mainland as well. With understanding, Tana will have to choose between love and duty; her coven or her heart.

Another wonderful, soft witchy novel from Rachel Griffin. I have really enjoyed all three of her novels and she will continue to be someone whom I will always grab a copy of their book!

This book focuses a lot on belonging and questioning your lifelong beliefs. Which is a theme I’ve always liked about Griffin’s novels – they’re witchy, but a lot of witchy books are usually so set in their rules or methods but in Griffin’s novels, the characters are always open to challenging that and changing those (though those around them may be a bit more stubborn).

With this being in first person POV with Tana, I really enjoyed getting to know her and her coven through her eyes. The covens in Griffin’s books always make me wish I was a part of them and this one is no different!

If you like witches, arranged marriages, secrets, and stories of finding one’s self then this is the book for your reading pleasure.
