The First Grimoire

TikTok made me do it. For Kerri Maniscalco and Sarah J. Maas fans, prepare to dive into the debut fantasy novel from Hannah Claire. This story is perfect for contemporary fantasy and dark academia lovers.

----

Traumatised by events from her past, Bethan Kore is a witch left without magic or memories. She found herself utterly reluctant to leave the confines of her safe life as a historian. But her sister died with work left behind, and Bethan is the only one capable of finishing it. She must end what her sister started.

Consumed by her grief, Bethan will deal with unknown threats at every corner and will need protection against them. Finding The First Grimoire is the key to preventing political unrest that slowly looms over Krete.    

The High Councillor assigns Kellan Finch, a disgraced prince whose one task is to appease his Queen and protect Bethan from the Adelian Resistance-- a group of witches who want The First Grimoire for their unknown master.

As the months drag on and the seasons change. Secrets unravel, and the history they thought to be fact may be false. While she falls deeper and deeper for the Fae Prince working alongside her, Bethan will learn dark truths about herself and her world.

This book contains forced proximity (swoon) and BookTok's favourite 'Touch her and die'
