Forged Magic starts with an intense and emotional blow. Andie has “lost” both Foster and Charlie—Foster lies in a deep coma within the pack’s territory, and she is forbidden from visiting him, while Charlie has been captured along with other wolves and witches after the battle with Moira. With the two most important people in her life gone, Andie is bitter and withdrawn. She keeps practicing, but nothing and no one else seems to matter. When Foster finally awakens, the void inside her begins to fill again. Despite the ongoing tensions between the pack and the coven, there’s hope for Andie and Foster to move forward together.
The spice level rises in this third installment—partly because Andie cleverly manages to break Moira’s hold on her magic, and partly because she can now fully open herself to Foster. Foster, in turn, has completely opened his heart to her. Their bond feels raw, powerful, and unshakable.
The mission to rescue the kidnapped coven and pack members forces cooperation between unlikely allies. Beatrix’s long-nurtured connections with fae, vampires, and other wolf packs prove invaluable. The story is filled with shocking, unexpected twists—from the surprising reveal of Beatrix’s mate, to Charlie’s mate bond, and even to the revelations about Andie’s wolf.
After the rescue, there’s a fragile return to normalcy. Plans begin to take shape, not to destroy Moira outright, but to find a way to stop her. Andie grows back into her true self—kind, strong, and confident. Meanwhile, Foster’s “coma” encounter with Luna sheds light on hidden truths, while backstories and motives come to the surface. Beatrix’s reasons and burdens are revealed, and even Moira’s past is finally explored, giving depth and clarity to her actions.
Though the spice is heightened thanks to the fully realized mate bond, it never overshadows the story. The epilogue ties everything together beautifully—it feels complete and satisfying, while still leaving room to explore more stories in this rich universe.
Heather Renee has written multiple trilogies in this same world, and she excels at weaving them together seamlessly. Her smooth writing style and layered storytelling make Forged Magic not just a continuation, but a true highlight in the series. I’m eager to check out more of her books (after double-checking the proper reading order, of course!).
