Synopsis

CLARA DENSMORE is an EVERWITCH.

For centuries, witches have maintained the climate, their power peaking in the season of their birth. But their control is faltering as the atmosphere becomes more erratic. All hope lies with Clara, whose rare magic is tied to every season.

In autumn, Clara wants nothing to do with her power. It’s wild and volatile, and the price of her magic—losing the ones she loves—is too high, despite the need to control the increasingly dangerous weather.

In winter, the world is on the precipice of disaster. Fires burn, storms rage, and Clara finally accepts that she’s the only one who can make a difference.

In spring, she falls for Sang, the witch training her. As her magic grows, so do her feelings for him, until she’s terrified Sang will be the next one she loses.

In summer, Clara must choose between her power and her happiness, her duty and the people she loves … before she loses everything.

From a stunning new voice comes a story about a powerful witch who must decide if using her volatile magic to help the world is worth the price of losing the person she loves the most.

“The forces of nature and magic blend perfectly in this masterfully told story.”—SHEA ERNSHAW, New York Times bestselling author of The Wicked Deep and Winterwood

Goodreads review by Ashleigh (a frolic through fiction) on September 01, 2021

This one was really fun and I absolutely FLEW through it! I adore elemental magic, and I feel like this is one of the best instances I’ve seen of it. I had no trouble believing everyone relies on the world and it’s seasons or their magic, and their struggles made complete sense to me. But it was als......more

Reread 2024 - I absolutely adored this upon reread as much as I did the first time I read it! Which is fantastic news. A new favourite book. I'm unsure if it's my favourite book of the year just yet but definitely my second if not. I adored everything about this, the characters, the writing style, the......more

Goodreads review by Snjez on January 11, 2025

This sounded good in theory. Witches are tied to one of the seasons, when their powers are the strongest, while Clara, our main character, is tied to all four seasons and she has to learn how to control her powers. The concept and the magic system might not be that original, but I still found them i......more
