Description
A kidnapped child. A witch on the warpath. A church guard in crisis.
In
the year of our Lord 1815, Thomas Drake Saint-Clair, Earl of Braden, a
Guard of the Green Cross, is tasked by his archbishop to rescue a
missing boy and return him to his warlock father. The order lands Braden
in the middle of an unholy war between witches and warlocks and shoves
him headlong past a sacred line he’d sworn never to cross.
Newly
confirmed Coven Protectress, Merryn Pendraven, rushes to rescue a
witch’s son. She's convinced the same evil warlock who was responsible
for her younger brother’s death is behind this kidnapping, too. She has
no intention of letting this vile villain get away with the same crime,
twice.
When Merryn discovers Braden is also on the case, she’s
tempted to join forces. Yet, how can she truly trust him when her aunt
has warned that Braden’s second secret charge is to destroy their coven?
Finding love in this cauldron of trouble might prove to be Merryn's
deadliest mission and Braden's complete undoing.
If you liked A
Discovery of Witches and Dr. Strange and Mr. Norrell, you’ll love Coven
at Callington, an anime-inspired witchy tale that will whisk you away
on a rip-roaring Regency ride

Coven at Callington is the first in a historical fantasy series featuring a reimagined 1800s with witches, warlocks, and church guards whose role is to keep the peace between the witches and warlocks. The son of a warlock and witch goes missing in the midst of his baptism, bringing together Merryn, the female lead, witch, and Coven Protectress and Braden, the male lead and church guard. This is a classic story of two people from opposing sides who bond together over a crisis and wind up falling in love. There were other smatterings of supernatural creatures thrown in here and there from faes to barguests. Each chapter started with blurb of ongoing events from the perspective of an inanimate object such as a mountain to an animate object such as a barguests. This was a bit weird and interrupted the flow for me as a reader. I recommend leaving this approach out of future installments. I feel like there are glimpses of interesting things worth more attention, namely the concept behind the apprenticeships with warlocks and the origins of the witches/warlocks.

This was a fun fantasy tale that wraps adventure, magic, and romance together. I have a feeling the sequel will be even better.
What caught my attention was that it was branded for fans for a Discovery of Witches. I'm not sure if I would deem that appropriate since that is one of my all time favorite book series, but it is still enjoyable!
