Bewitched by Laura Thalassa

She came to claim her power.

She awakened something ancient instead.

From bestselling indie author and TikTok favorite Laura Thalassa comes a deliciously witchy romantasy.

Selene Bowers is desperate to join Henbane Coven, the elite academy for witches. But power comes with a price, and hers demands a sacrifice: every time she uses magic, she loses a memory. And now, she may be forgetting something--or someone--crucial.

During her pre-initiation quest in the South American jungle, Selene's magic flares to save her life, awakening Memnon the Cursed, a long-dead villain who mistakes Selene for the wife who betrayed him.

Their connection is immediate. Dangerous. Unforgivable.

Selene escapes and makes it to Henbane, but when witches start turning up dead, all signs point to her. With no memories to defend herself, she turns to the one person who might hold the answers: Memnon. But his help comes with strings that could bind her fate forever...

A sexy, high-stakes romantasy perfect for fans of ACOTAR and The Serpent and the Wings of Night!
