Synopsis

For fans of One Dark Window and From Blood and Ash comes a haunting, slow-burn romantasy debut following a once magicless elf as she inherits forbidden dark powers, forcing her into deadly trials against ruthless witches, a perilous alliance with a duplicitous prince, and unimaginable sacrifices to protect her realm from collapse.

After her grandmother’s execution, a formerly magicless elf is suddenly the most powerful witch in her village. Magic is disappearing though, and Imani is thrust into the treacherous court of her kingdom, forced into trials against the most lethal witches in the world.

As she unravels the perilous plan her grandmother plotted before her death to save magic, Imani unwittingly uncovers a web of magical and political intrigue that puts her on a collision course with dangers beyond anything she’s imagined.

But Imani is harboring illicit knowledge of her own—a forbidden dark magic that’s getting more and more difficult to hide by the day. Now, she must decide whether to make herself a threat and an enemy to her country or risk becoming a pawn as she watches the realm lose magic forever.

Imani sees only one path forward: a dangerous deal with the duplicitous prince—one she might be falling for.

The Elf Witch is the first book in an epic romantasy series that is perfect for fans of Rachel Gillis, Jeneane O’Riley, and L.J. Andrews.

I received a copy of this book for free for promotional purposes. This was quite the start to a new fantasy series!

The Elf Witch by Jacquelyn Gilmore releases on March 11, 2025. Huge thanks to NerdFam for the gifted ARC!

The author introduced a variety of creatures and......more

I enjoyed this. Everyone knows I love some witchcore! The magical system was very neat and the plot moved along quickly. I really liked the relationship between the two main characters and watching Imani struggle with good vs. evil. This book is not an easy read, those who are not used to reading ep......more

Goodreads review by Ash on March 19, 2025

rough start for me 3.5 I won’t lie, this book was super confusing to me in the beginning. I didn’t know what was happening. At all. I was very close to DNF-ing but I kept going and I’m glad I did. A quarter of the way in it slows down and it’s easier to digest. When you get to Part 2 it gets real good......more
