Katherine Barnes is an enforcer, charged with maintaining order in Los Angeles’ Aestas coven and bringing unsettled witches – those who aren’t aware they have magic until it explodes out of them in catastrophic bursts – into the fold. As a former unsettled witch, Katherine owes her life to Aestas’ founder, Sylvia Page.
When Silas Khatri, heir to Noctis, the most powerful coven in the country, arrives to challenge Aestas’s more unconventional practices, Katherine’s dislike for him reaches blistering levels. She loathes his money and his coven’s dangerous attitude towards unsettled witches. The fact that she finds him frustratingly attractive doesn’t help either.
But a powerful threat is on the rise, more insidious than the decades-long power struggle that exists in the hidden witch world. One that will pull Katherine and Silas together despite their differences. And one that could lead to an all-out war . . .
Exhilarating, dangerous, and seductive, Witch Season is an action-packed and fiercely romantic urban fantasy from debut author and screenwriter Julia Bianco, perfect for fans of Juno Dawson, Leigh Bardugo and Buffy.

Reviews
Witch Season is an absolutely stellar debut from Julia Bianco. I had the very best time reading it! In fact, putting the book down for any length of time proved nigh on impossible. I both relished it as a reader and admired it as a writer. The characters were masterfully evoked, the magic system so well-constructed that it felt real, and the story itself quite simply riveting. I have no doubt that fans of witchy books are going to love this as much as I did
Bianco writes a compelling, addictive story with beautifully flawed characters. Witch Season was a phenomenal read. A tale of blood-sacrifice and self-sacrifice, of the collision of witchcraft and modern life, of the price of privilege. Action-packed, unapologetically violent, and somehow culminating, amidst the carnage, with a gorgeous message of hope. Just my kind of read. Brilliant!
Witch Season pulls you into a world where magic leaves marks - on skin, on memory, and on the quiet places grief refuses to leave. Tightly woven and full of intrigue, this witchy urban fantasy is brimming with magic, betrayal, and an undercurrent of desire that hums through the chaos
