About this listen

In this charming MM romantic fantasy, cursed witch Briar Wyngrave has a date with destiny—but isn't totally sure which man that date is with.

Witch Briar Wyngrave's time is limited. The wasting curse that killed his mother is coming for him too, consuming his magic bit by bit. At least he'll have the chance to make his name as a magical fashion designer with an elite placement in Pentawynn, the country's glittering capital, after graduation. Until, that is, a prophecy sends him to the remote island of Coill Darragh instead, in search of a predestined lover with a mysterious mask.

When Briar arrives with his grumpy magpie familiar, Vatii, he finds an unwelcoming town, a murdered poltergeist named Gretchen in his apartment, and a handsome alderman named Rowan with a haunting scar. He also gets pulled into the mysterious magic of the darkly enchanted forest that surrounds the town and seems to have something to do with his curse. As if all that weren't enough, famous witch Linden Fairchild has come to town, complete with a charismatic smile, an unreadable aura, and a surefire plan to cure curses.

How's a cursed witch to know which enchanting man is his destiny? And can Briar possibly make an impact as a magical fashion designer in this tiny town? One thing is certain: a witch's magic requires a tithe—a berry, a feather, a cut into flesh—and Coill Darragh may take tithes Briar isn't ready to give....

This is the best book I’ve read in a long time. It has so much heart and the tension is so good. It keeps you guessing which way things will go until the end. Loved it

I really enjoyed this book and this performance. It’s one of the 5/5 books that you can’t justifiably say it’s perfect. I just really enjoyed it.

Cozy and Whimsical

Outstanding

hella gay, hella sappy, loved it all the way through! loved the complex characters dynamics. For anyone looking for an optimistic though stubborn main character and a wealth of funny, intriguing, and loathsome side characters.
The narration was also incredible!

wonderful story and performance!
