Spellbound 2

The Coven of Uncommon Women

Welcome to the retreat. Check in anytime you like. You can never leave.

When chaos witch Hazel Blackwood-Thorne receives a VIP invitation to an
exclusive wellness retreat for magical women, warning bells should have
rung. Instead, she discovers three missing witches, a sinister cult called
the Covenant of the Silver Seed, and a breeding program that's been
operating in the shadows for nearly two hundred years.

The wellness spa facade hides something far darker: women held captive,
their bodies used against their will, their minds erased when they've
"completed their purpose." And Hazel's bloodline? The Covenant's been
hunting it for generations.

To expose the truth, Hazel must go undercover as a willing recruit,
playing the lost chaos witch seeking guidance while her husband Ezra
coordinates the rescue from outside the wards. Her only ally inside is
Del, a technomancer who's been documenting horrors for two years while
searching for her broken sister.

With Mochi running intelligence through a network of familiars who are
definitely not forming a chinchilla cavalry, and Miranda Whitmore (the
compound's memory-magic architect) watching her every move, Hazel has to
choose: maintain her cover and gather evidence, or unleash the chaos
and burn it all down.

Some cages look like paradise.
Some monsters smile when they feed you.
And some butterflies have teeth.

"Sacred purpose," they called it.
"Legacy preservation," they said.
I called it what it was: a machine for grinding women into silence.
And I was about to become very, very loud.

The Handmaid's Tale meets cozy witch mystery in this dark, fierce, and
ultimately hopeful tale of bodily autonomy, found family, and the chaos
it takes to tear down centuries of control. Book 2 in the Spellbound
series. Can be read as a standalone, but best enjoyed after SPELLBOUND.

READER NOTES: This book contains themes of reproductive coercion,
captivity, and cult dynamics. No on-page assault. Survivors are centered
and empowered. Justice is served. HEA guaranteed. Mochi still has
opinions about everything.
