Burning Magic: Sisters of the Harvest Novella 1

by C.J. Singh

The use of magic is forbidden in my realm. Witches and warlocks are ruthlessly hunted down and executed. For those of us gifted with such powers, using them openly would be akin to courting a death sentence.

I have never been one to disobey or live carelessly, but when I saw a little girl lying broken beneath carriage wheels, I knew only magic could save her, even if it meant my freedom.

With wrists bound in iron to negate my magic, a tall, powerful stranger saved me from the king’s hunters. Except my release came at a terrible price. Now injured, my handsome savior can only be saved by magic.

Burning Magic is the first installment of C J Singhs’ Sisters of the Harvest novella series - each a fast-paced, wildly exciting romance.

About the author

At a young age, Christina Singh was enraptured with books and the art of storytelling. She would write little stories about animals for her grandma to read. As she got older, she enjoyed reading fantasy, romance, and thrillers in between studying for tests for her master’s in education. Longing for a real-life adventure outside the pages of these books, she traveled around the world, learning about other cultures and ways of life. To date, she has been to twelve countries. While out on one of her adventures—walking her dog, Ash, in the woods—she got the idea to write about a girl living in the woods with her pet, Ash. She tested out her ideas by telling short made-up bedtime stories to her daughter. Eventually, she decided to embark on one of her greatest adventures: writing this book. She may have just been destined to be an author; after all, she shares a birthday with her favorite author, Beatrix Potter—how cool is that?

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Burning Magic is the first of three connected novellas. In this world, witches and warlocks are being killed because of what happened to the current King’s parents.

The first novella follows Greer, a lone witch who is being hunted. However, Shade, a warlock helps free her. The two then go on a journey of trying to stay alive while getting to know each other in a dangerous world.

I loved everything about this. The pace was great, the characters were fun, the romance was very instalovey and mutual, and watching someone find a family is always a good time. Both Greer and Shade have compelling backstories that made me empathize with and like them. The worldbuilding gives exactly what I need to know as a reader without overloading the senses. Basically, I would change nothing about this novella.
