An heir’s duties and a wary relationship with magic

Tamlin Ashowan is expected to serve as heir to his dukedom, while keeping a distance from the magic that troubles him. His family struggles to understand what he needs, and the arrival of a secretive new assistant adds another uncertain element to his responsibilities. The wider situation is unsettled too: the kingdom of Zinfera is unstable, while the devil and the first witch threaten to exploit the world’s precarious state. The novel begins a trilogy in the universe shared with The House Witch, The Princess of Potential, and The Burning Witch series; the publisher says prior books are not required.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Fantasy-romance readers interested in a duke’s heir navigating family expectations and magical uncertainty.
  • Readers who enjoy stories involving courtly responsibilities, secretive assistants, and political instability.
  • Those seeking an entry point into this shared fantasy universe without reading its earlier series.

Book overview

Tamlin Ashowan has troubled his family for years. Between the fearfulness of his magic and his refusal to share exactly what it does, his loving parents and sister don't know how best to guide him. Tam, on the other hand, insists he doesn't need any assistance. Despite ignoring his magic and possessing a preference for remaining locked up in his room with a good book, Tam is determined to play his role as the heir to his dukedom to the best of his ability. But his father, Finlay Ashowan, the famous hero of Daxaria and house witch, might require more from his son than Tam realizes.

Will a new assistant, who has even more secrets than Tam himself, be able to help navigate Tam's endless responsibilities? Will all chaos break out thanks to the unstable kingdom of Zinfera? Will the devil and the first witch take advantage of the precarious state of the world to get rid of each other once and for all? Can Tam handle everything without having to use his magical power? Will he be pushed to new limits as his fate rushes to meet him?

Find the answer to these questions and more in the new trilogy set in the same universe as The House Witch series, The Princess of Potential, and The Burning Witch series. There's no need to read the previous books to enjoy the new, fun adventure. Feel free to jump right in!
