Aurelia Wycherley may have been tasked with saving magic, but her only goal is to save the witch that she loves.
Aurelia’s cursed magic is killing Jules Nightly, as the pair of them enter into their apprentice studies with the Coven of Knowing, Aurelia is hoping that the Repository, the vast depository of all magical knowledge, will hold the key to curing her magical tether.
There is another option to save Jules; she can break their tether, ending both of their magic but saving his life. However, now that they have formed a coven of thirteen, if Aurelia and Jules break their bond, the rest of the witches in their magical coven will lose their magic too. Meanwhile, the threat to the wider world of magic is growing at speed. Aurelia's curse may be the only thing that can save the kingdom and the magic . . .
Praise for The Wycherleys
‘From the first perfect line, The Wycherleys had me hooked. It’s the perfect swoon-worthy fantasy-romance featuring everything I wonderfully drawn characters to fall and root for, an alternate history with ballgowns and broomsticks, curses, magic with a clever twist, and a world I’d love to visit.’ Dominique Valente, author of the Starfell series
'A fun, tense, enemies-to-lovers romance with magic and plenty of secrets. Nothing is as it seems. It had me gripped from the first page.' Zeena Gosrani, author of This Dark Heart
'I am utterly captivated by this addictive and swoony fantasy romance! Aurelia is brave, bold and wears her curse proudly. Jules is Mr Darcy for a new generation. They set the standard for courtship. If you're not committing felonies together, is it love?' Rosie Talbot, author of Sixteen Souls

Review of advance copy received from Publisher
Love this series and really enjoyed this
October 29, 2026
I received a review copy from the publisher in preparation for a < a href = https://ukyaspotlight.co.uk/all-posts... interview. It has not affected my opinions.
FATE AND OTHER CHARMS is a great series finale.
There is a lot to cover in this book (and it's so hard to talk about without spoilers!) There's a bunch of very interesting consequences from the actions in LOVE AND OTHER CURSES which were really interesting to see play out as some were quite unexpected. Jonathon and his coven are playing out a classic far-right state capture manoeuvre which feels painfully familiar despite the magic.
I have really appreciated the way this romantasy series hasn't had epic fights and then make ups between Aurelia and Jules. They've had their difficulties, mostly from not telling the other things, but when it comes to light, they talk about it sensibly. There's no screaming and stupid declarations of it being over - it's two people who care enough about the other to be sensible and actually talk it through while listening. It's refreshing and a much needed healthy picture of conflict resolution in a relationship. A lot of romantasy novels could really do with taking notes.
Jules narrates some of the chapters! I was so pleased to hear from him after two books with only Aurelia. He has a different perspective on things (and there's a lot going on so we need him to get the whole picture!)
This does wrap the series up, bringing the characters into the brand new world. Is it all perfect? No - and there is a hint that there could be more stories (maybe following one of the younger witches we meet in this book?). I would not be adverse to that!
