PHINE WAS BORN OF THE BAYOU . . . NOW THE TICK WITCH HAS COME HOME

For New Orleans witchkin, there is no greater honor than to become the Prime – chosen to rule. But the title is meant to pass between two rival Houses of magic, not to the wayward daughter of the former Prime who died under mysterious circumstances.

As a girl, Seraphine Barreau was dubbed the Tick Witch for her ability to feed on magic and make it her own. Even among those who alter fate and manipulate reality, she was a powerful outcast feared and misunderstood by her people. Now dragged back to continue the legacy that nearly destroyed her, Phine has her work cut out for her. She must earn the respect of her people, navigate the politics of the paranormal communities residing in her city, and heal a broken heart, all the while battling a parasitic curse poisoning witchkin. Between her werewolf ex, power-hungry vampires, and the skeletons in her family’s closet, Phine must learn to make peace with her past to save her – and all of witchkin’s – future.

Witch Queen Rising is the lush and haunting fantasy from Savannah Stephens, perfect for fans of Anne Rice and The Originals TV series.

Publisher Review

Witch Queen Rising is a fantastical novel, perfect for readers who want to immerse themselves in the world of witches and their paranormal friends – and enemies. This debut, equal parts enthralling and frightening, sets you squarely in the magical city of New Orleans. Phine is the outcast protagonist whose compelling story is complicated by all manner of threats, betrayals, and lost love. I cannot wait for the second book of this duology and what’s sure to be a spellbinding conclusion! * Del Sandeen, author of THIS CURSED HOUSE *
