Belladonna Blackthorn hasn't lost her magical spark . . . but she hasn't seen it in a while, either. Balancing work at her beloved Lunar Books with protecting it from her toxic boss, who's running it into the ground, and all the while concealing her witchcraft from the non-wicches around her - Belle is burnt out. Perfecting the potential of her magic is the last thing on her mind. But when her 30th birthday brings a summons from her coven, and a trial that tests her worthiness as a witch, Belle risks losing her magic forever. With the month of October to fix things, and signs that dark forces may be working against her, Belle will need all the help she can get - from the women in her life, from an unlikely mentor figure, and even an (infuriatingly handsome) watchman who's sworn to protect her . . . With slow burn romance, found family and an uplifting message about self-love, this is the cosy autumnal read that Lucy's followers, and the market at large, are looking for.
