Cover Reveal: A Witch in Isenshire
A Witch in Isenshire is book two in The Witch of Emelle series by Azalea Forrest.
Back in March, I had the privilege to share the updated cover for Witch in the Lighthouse, and now I have a similar honour to help Azalea share the cover for the upcoming sequel to that book! I’m really looking forward to A Witch in Isenshire, because I very much enjoyed the first book in the series. So I signed up as an ARC reader, and on the sign-up form there was the option for book bloggers to take part in the cover reveal, which I jumped at.

And so here it is, the cover for A Witch in Isenshire: Book Two in The Witch of Emelle series by Azalea Forrest. I like the style of this cover and how it’s in-keeping with the refreshed cover for the first book. All the little magical details seem to fit rather well with the vibe I get from the book’s synopsis. Bravo!
A Witch in Isenshire is a bold cup of coffee made with determination, personal growth, and adventure.
Magnolia Hanna never thought she’d forgive Basil Olivander, the witch who inadvertently upended so many lives in Lightview. Yet four months after their battle, Basil’s learning to deal with his heartache and make amends. He’s become Maggie’s roommate, her technomancy teacher, and—just maybe—her friend. Now, they’re packing for a trip to visit Maggie’s family in the hidden hamlet of Emelle.
Maggie and Basil face their grief together, finding closure at her late uncle’s grave and comfort among her friends and family. If it were up to her, she would stay for a fortnight, but their trip is cut short at the behest of Lightview’s mayor, who sends the two witches on an adventure of a lifetime—to the advanced city of Isenshire, the birthplace of the automaton.
To Maggie’s dismay, Isenshire’s witches can only use magic with a permit, and their jobs have been reduced to fortune telling and parlor tricks. Magnolia’s fear of her skills being replaced by tech is reignited tenfold. Are the witches in Isenshire truly happy, or are they complacent to the powers that be? Magnolia’s only wish is to make magic relevant again, but she soon finds that the power of the automaton is too awesome to ignore.
