Thou Shalt Not Let The Witch Live

Charmed meets Buffy the Vampire Slayer in this slow-burn romantasy where a witch and the Demon of Knowledge must join forces to prevent the apocalypse

After surviving a traumatic experience as a war photographer, Ember Wytte reluctantly returns to her coastal hometown of Faddenfield. For generations, the women in her family have performed the sacred ritual that keeps the gates of Hell sealed beneath the mountain — a duty now shared by Ember and her sisters. But grief, guilt, and a forbidden longing drive Ember to do the unthinkable: break the ritual and make a deal with a demon to bring her father back from the underworld.

Her choice unleashes the apocalypse. A supernatural mist envelops the town, cutting it off from the outside world, while demonic creatures pour into the streets and the ancient
war with the witch hunters reignites. Ember, along with her sisters Rhiannon and Circe, must fight to contain the chaos. Meanwhile, outside the mist, their mother and youngest sister, Morgana, risk everything to break through and reach them before it’s too late. But the man Ember brought back from Hell may not be the father they remember —and he seems to have his own agenda.

As old enemies rise and hard truths come to light, the sisters are torn between protecting one another and confronting the legacy that binds them. At the heart of it all stands Dantalion, the seductive and exiled Demon of Knowledge, cast out of Hell after predicting his own future betrayal. He offers Ember his help —for a price: she must help him retrieve The Unending, the book that holds his power, hidden deep within Hell, so that he, as the last of the Seventy-Two Lords of Bael, can seize the throne of Hell.
