A kidnapped child. A witch on the warpath. A church guard in crisis.

In 1815, Thomas Drake Saint-Clair, Earl of Braden, a Guard of the Green Cross, is tasked by his archbishop to rescue a missing boy and return him to his warlock father. The order lands Braden in the middle of an unholy war between witches and warlocks and shoves him headlong past a sacred line he’d sworn never to cross.

Newly confirmed Coven Protectress, Merryn Pendraven, rushes to rescue a witch’s son. She's convinced the same evil warlock who was responsible for her younger brother’s death is behind this kidnapping, too. She has no intention of letting this vile villain get away with the same crime, twice.

When Merryn discovers Braden is also on the case, she’s tempted to join forces. Yet, how can she truly trust him when her aunt has warned that Braden’s second secret charge is to destroy their coven? Finding love in this cauldron of trouble might prove to be Merryn's deadliest mission and Braden's complete undoing.

If you like your historical romances with a flavor of fantasy, you'll love this anime-inspired witchy tale that will whisk you away on a rip-roaring Regency ride.

5.0 out of 5 stars War of magics

Warlocks and witches have been at odds for years, so when a case calls for our hero and heroine to cooperate, trusting each other is a major issue. Falling for each other is an even bigger one.

This is book one of the series, so a fine place to start.

This is a historical paranormal mystery story set in England. The story is well written, easy to read and have a very well developed setting that truly brings the story to life. The characters are equally well done and skillfully blend magic with the historical setting. Add in a complex plot with plenty of action, intrigue and mystery and things get really interesting. Overall, this was a lot of fun to read and I look forward to reading the next book.

Highly recommended

We have mystery, action and suspense. Thomas is sent to find the Warlocks son and Merryn is to find the boy too. What will happen when she finds out Thomas is to destroy her coven? What will happen when truths come out? Can they work together or will they destroy each other? Who is right and who is wrong? You will want to keep reading until you finish the book.

5.0 out of 5 stars And now for something completely different.

“Must I remind you, sir,” Sutton said in a repressive tone, “that the Church is at liberty to decide on the best course for the good of Britain’s spiritual welfare without prior consultation with its guards? Remember your place. You are of a higher rank in secular life, but within the Church, you are sworn before God to follow my orders, without question.”

And now for something completely different....

Blending magic and the Church was what hooked me into this series, and what will keep me here. As a retired minister with a background in Women’s Studies AND Church History, I couldreadthis kind of book for days. It helps that the author is historically correct before the fantasy takes over.

With reminders of the Disney version of Beauty and the Beast with anthropomorphic inanimate objects, this is a bit Robin Hood in Braden and Merryn‘s story. It’s also a great romance. 5/5

[note: I have read the second in the series which is currently part of the *Wings of the Wicked* box set

An interesting tale. I'm not sure that I see Braden as righteous and moral if he believes in sex before marriage, which is against Christian teachings.

Great world building & storytelling. Deep, well developed characters. The lack of spice did not detract from the tale, although, I am not used to such a clean romance, so for me that was a bit lacking. This is a book you could let age 12+ read, it is so squeaky clean. This is definitely a book for a young girl’s first foray into reading a romance book.

4.0 out of 5 stars FUN:} So many different elements in this one:}
Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2021
This was a different twist for me. Regency romance, a bit of Christianity, witches, warlocks, the fay and a hansom Earl warrior. A super fun combination. This lacked a bit of depth but there was so much going on I didn't miss it too much. A bit of insta-love in this one. It felt like it all happened a bit fast. I just was so interested in all the cool differences in this tho. The talking saint, the hell hounds that had feelings and the evil bad guy that's maybe not so evil. This just had some fun elements. I will be reading the next one soon.
Content:
Sex: One scene that is fade to black, a bit sensual.
Violence: Nothing too detailed. Mostly dark monsters die in this. No one really gets hurt which is a little unbelievable.
Over all a very light PG13.

Coven at Callington is a Fantasy/Romance taking place in 1815. I don't actually read Romances. This is the second one in a month. Also the second I enjoyed. Sheesh! The Romancing moves quickly, but is quite engaging. The humor is well-placed, and does not distract, or detract, from the story. The characters are believable, engaging, and fun to follow. Makes you wish there really were brownies, pixies, and such. I recommend this book! I hope the main characters appear in another book soon! Thanks, Ms. Vedam!

When I first started reading this this book I'll admit I was sceptical however by the time I'd got half way through chapter 2 I was hooked to the point I finished the whole book in a couple of days! This is unusual for me as any book I'm currently reading usually takes at least one week or more. I take my hat off to Shereen Vedam her perception of exactly what people want to read is exceptional I would love to be able to write even half as well as she does (I can't write for toffee), let me finish by saying IN MY HUMBLE OPINION THIS IS A STONKINGLY GREAT BOOK AND ONE I WILL HAVE GREAT PLEASURE IN RECOMMENDING TO OTHER PEOPLE!!!!
