The Lockhardt Coven

Magic, the essence of life for mages, is fading, and as it wanes, so do those who depend on it.

The Lockhardt Coven is an adult romantic fantasy with series potential. The novel follows Lana Lockhardt, whose family’s magic is fading, threatening to erase their bloodline. When her former coven reappears, Lana is forced to confront her past. She broke from the coven a decade ago, leaving behind David, her childhood friend, who now offers her an unthinkable proposition: help the coven complete three deadly trials to restore her family’s magic.

Having built a life at her family’s restaurant without magic, Lana initially refuses. But magic is more than just conjuring—it’s sustenance, and her family is in desperate need. Reluctantly, she agrees. As they face the trials, her relationship with David is tested—torn between rekindled friendship, old wounds, and buried emotions. Despite simmering distrust, Lana feels indebted to David for her escape and soon finds herself protecting him, as he once protected her. As the trials push them to their limits, Lana must confront her feelings for the man he has become and decide what she’s willing to sacrifice for love, family, and power.
