The Jade Lion is the most powerful spellcaster to ever exist. And he was living inside my souvenir.

It was only a tiny keepsake from my trip to Hong Kong. How was I supposed to know it imprisoned a legendary mage? Sure, I’m attuned to magic, but if I had known a massive lion-human-hybrid―with power dripping from his ferocious claws―was inside the trinket, I probably would have avoided it. And when he morphs back into his human form, he’s…drawn to me.

My coven wants to be accepted by wizardkind. It makes sense―us witches are the marginalized community of the magical world. Forming a bond with the Jade Lion might be our ticket to more respect. But I’m a mediocre witch, and he’s a living legend trapped out of time. I don’t see how I can emotionally manipulate him into giving us power. As the weeks go by and we grow closer, I’m starting to feel like I don’t want to. Against all odds, I’m falling for him.

Dark forces lurk around every corner. If I can’t convince Kai to join us, it could spell catastrophe. What’s a witch boy to do?

“Jade Lion and the Witch Boy” is a paranormal M/M romance, involving a coven of disgruntled witches and a lion-shifter with more power than he realizes. This spicy tale is part of the “Haunted Hearts: Season of the Witch” collab series where Own Voices authors tell mystical tales, HEA guaranteed.
