Witch, Zoe has three problems.

First: her magical powers are tragically underwhelming.

Second: her dæmon is a razor-tongued Maine Coon cat named Jack, who offers a running commentary on her failures, fashion choices, and romantic prospects.

And third: she’s falling for Rian, a dragon prince who alternates between looking at her as if she’s his destiny… and like she’s a diplomatic inconvenience.

As an orphan raised on the fringes of Annwn’s magical society, Zoe is used to being whispered about. Being the granddaughter of Sorcha Glas, the legendary Shadow Weaver who stopped the Crone of the Hollow Court from conquering the realm, only makes things worse. Heroic legacy. Minimal magic. No pressure.

When the Crone imprisons the Dragon King of Snowdonia, Zoe and her deeply unimpressed cat are forced to infiltrate enemy territory, navigate volatile clan politics, and try not to die horribly. She would very much like to stay out of history, but after the Crone retaliates and musters an army of undead Hollow Knights, Zoe becomes the centre of a prophecy no one fully understands.

Zoe’s magic may be unreliable. Her dæmon may be insufferable and her love life politically catastrophic. But if the Crone thinks the granddaughter of Sorcha Glas is going quietly, she clearly hasn’t met Jack.

In the realm of Annwn, love is political, and destiny bites back.
