Perfect for you if...

  • You love historical fantasy with a strong, determined female lead who's battling both external curses and personal betrayal.
  • You're drawn to atmospheric settings where magic feels grounded in real places—here, the French vineyards are as much a character as Elena herself.
  • You want a slow-burn romance that builds tension rather than overshadows the central conflict.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer fast-paced plots where magic is flashy and consequences are immediate; this one builds deliberately through investigation and suspicion.
  • You dislike stories where the protagonist hides her true identity from the love interest for much of the book.
  • You're after contemporary settings or high fantasy with epic world-building rather than historical fiction grounded in a single region.

About this book

A young witch emerges from a curse to discover her world transformed in this fantasy set in turn-of-the-century France. For centuries, the vineyards at Château Renard have relied on vine witches whose spells create the renowned wine of the Chanceaux Valley. Sorcière Elena Boureanu was struck by a curse that confined her to a marshland and weakened her magic. After breaking free from the spell, she finds the vineyard she was meant to inherit now owned by a stranger. Jean-Paul Martel, the vineyard's new owner, trusts science over superstition and dismisses local beliefs in witches. However, Elena recognizes the hexes covering the vineyard. To remain and help the vines recover, she must conceal her true identity while pursuing revenge against whoever took seven years of her life. She is determined to counter the evil forces threatening herself, Jean-Paul, and the ancient vine-witch legacy of the Chanceaux Valley.
