THE LOCKHARDT COVEN

A slow-burn romantic fantasy for readers who grew up watching Buffy and Charmed, reading Charlaine Harris, and half-believing the world had magic hiding in plain sight.  

Magic is the lifeblood of mages—and it is dying.

Lana Lockhardt escaped the Triad, a powerful coven that controlled her childhood and treated her body and magic as resources to be spent. She built something quiet from the wreckage—a café, a life, proof that she was more than what they made her. Then her family's magic begins to fail, her uncle is dying, and the Triad resurfaces with the one thing she never recovered from: David, her first love, long presumed dead, now standing on the wrong side.

He offers her a bargain. Three trials. Her family's magic restored. She says no—until she can't anymore.

Forced into uneasy partnership with the boy she buried and never stopped grieving, Lana finds old wounds reopening and buried feelings harder to ignore. But David isn't the boy she remembers, and the man he's become is someone she doesn't yet know how to read. With each trial demanding greater sacrifice, she must decide what she's willing to give—her hard-won freedom, her reclaimed power, or her heart—to save the people she has left.
