Serpent & Dove by Shelby Mahurin | Enemies to Lovers Witch Fantasy Romance

A witch. A witch hunter. A sacred vow. An impossible love.

In Serpent & Dove, Shelby Mahurin delivers a thrilling fantasy romance that sizzles with forbidden love, dark magic, and an irresistible enemies-to-lovers dynamic. Set in a lush, pseudo-French world where witches are hunted and burned, this is the explosive first book in the New York Times bestselling trilogy.

Louise le Blanc is a witch in hiding. She’s abandoned her coven and taken refuge in the city of Cesarine, where witches are feared and hunted. Reid Diggory, a sworn Chasseur, lives by the Church’s strict code — and that means hunting witches like Lou.

But when a scandal forces them into an unholy marriage of convenience, both must confront their deepest beliefs and worst fears. The line between hate and love blurs, and a dangerous prophecy begins to unfold as ancient enemies rise from the shadows.

Perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas, Leigh Bardugo, and enchanting, high-stakes romance, Serpent & Dove is a page-turning blend of romantasy, betrayal, magic, and destiny.
