Bound as one to love, honor, or burn.

Two years ago, Louise le Blanc fled her coven and took shelter in the city of Cesarine, forsaking all magic and living off whatever she could steal. There, witches like Lou are hunted. They are feared. And they are burned.

Sworn to the Church as a Chasseur, Reid Diggory has lived his life by one principle: thou shalt not suffer a witch to live. His path was never meant to cross with Lou's, but a wicked stunt forces them into an impossible union—holy matrimony.

The war between witches and Church is an ancient one, and Lou's most dangerous enemies bring a fate worse than fire. Unable to ignore her growing feelings, yet powerless to change what she is, a choice must be made.

And love makes fools of us all.

Shelby Mahurin

Shelby Mahurin is a name that resonates with fans of gripping fantasy, compelling romance, and characters who push the boundaries of magic and morality. Known for her Serpent & Dove series, Mahurin has crafted a world where witches, hunters, and forbidden love collide in ways that captivate readers and leave them breathless for more.

A lover of all things fantasy from a young age, Shelby grew up in the vibrant, eclectic atmosphere of the American South, where her imagination was allowed to run wild.

After earning her degree in creative writing, Shelby dove into the world of storytelling, crafting a unique voice that melds sweeping magical landscapes with fierce, flawed characters. With Serpent & Dove, she introduced readers to a world where magic is both dangerous and beautiful, and love is anything but simple. The series quickly became a fan-favorite, and Shelby’s ability to balance tension with tenderness, magic with heartbreak, has cemented her place among the most exciting voices in fantasy today.

Shelby’s writing is not just about the fantastical; it’s about the relationships that shape us, the choices we make, and the personal battles that define us. Her characters are always fighting something, whether it’s an external enemy or the darkness within, and readers are drawn to their journeys with every page turned. Her novels explore themes of identity, loyalty, and redemption, but always with a touch of the supernatural.

When she's not creating worlds of magic and mayhem, Shelby enjoys reading, traveling, and finding inspiration in the most unexpected places. Fans of Serpent & Dove and her subsequent works know that Shelby’s ability to surprise and enchant is unmatched, and her stories will continue to leave a lasting impact on the fantasy genre.
