M.L Jewell
Rise of the Witches
$25.00 AUD
This man, Mallrie, just saved my life, but how do I know I can trust him? After all, no one in their right mind is out after dark, yet here he is.
Here I am.
***
In Datura, a small township plagued by nocturnal, flesh-eating monsters, two rules are immutably enforced: never venture into the Melsheim Forest surrounding the town and never leave your home after dark. The stench of death and decay clings to the cobblestone streets where Flesh-Hunters lurk in every corner, always hungry for their next meal.
When Eliana, half a bottle of gin deep, stumbles through the dark streets, she races against time to get home. When she finds herself cornered, convinced she’s about to meet the God of Death, a flash of purple and a man will shatter everything she thought she knew. She’ll find herself breaking not only the laws of Datura but also the rules she’s enforced to protect her heart.
Years ago, Mallrie made a promise, one he’s determined to keep—even if it means sacrificing his morals. To rid Datura of the Kailadons, he must restore the magic to the ancient tree at the heart of the town. He’s spent years focused solely on that goal, on that promise. He never meant to fall in love, but when Eliana crashed into his life, she brought a storm of questionable choices—him being one of them.

ABOUT US

Launching in June 2024, Swoon Bookstore started life as a retail indie bookstore with a focus on Queer titles and Australian authors. We created a steady community and began to dabble in bespoke pop up events and small-run special editions to compliment them. The pivotal moment in the next phase of the Swoon Story began with the inception of our first, fully featured Special Edition Book Box, Hamartia by Scarlett Drake, which was release April 2025.
