Enchantress Lottie: Charmed Circle Series

Lottie Bannerman never expected her life to change so drastically on her birthday. Up until that moment, everything had been quiet-almost too quiet. Living with her mother and sister in their modest home, she often found herself staring out at the horizon, a restless pull deep within her soul whispering that she was meant for something more. The feeling had haunted her for as long as she could remember, an invisible thread tugging her toward an unknown destiny.Then, on the eve of her eighteenth birthday, a letter arrived. Not just any letter-an ornate envelope, sealed with an unfamiliar sigil pressed into blood-red wax. The parchment bore an invitation in a script that seemed to shimmer in the candlelight:Welcome, Lottie.This is your formal invitation to join the Charmed Circle. If you so choose...She had heard rumors of the Circle-a secret society of courtesan witches bound by bloodline, ancient oaths, and forbidden magic. Some whispered that they were protectors of lost knowledge, guardians of power beyond comprehension. Others claimed they were nothing more than puppets in a game played by those in the shadows, their fates sealed the moment they accepted the invitation.Lottie should have hesitated. She should have torn the letter to shreds, locked her doors, and never looked back. But she didn't.Instead, she found herself standing at the edge of something vast and unknowable, a door opening to a world she had only dreamed of. A world of whispered incantations, candlelit rituals, and power thrumming beneath her fingertips. The Circle offered her the chance to embrace the calling she had always felt deep within her bones.But joining them meant more than just learning magic. It meant leaving her old life behind-her family, her home, and the fragile sense of safety she had clung to. It meant stepping into a web of secrets, where betrayal lurked behind every masked smile, and power came at a cost she could not yet comprehend.Lottie thought she was ready.She was wrong.The deeper she delves into the Circle's world, the more she realizes that beneath the gilded opulence lies something far more sinister.
