    About this series

    Sadie Sadler is a powerful witch; a daughter of the dominant magical clan in the north; and probably the soulmate of Gabriel Thornber, the scarily attractive half-demon who’s her family’s longstanding enemy. If only she wasn’t always trying to run as far away from him as possible…

    Back in London, Sadie's tranquility is shattered when a mysterious letter arrives from Lavinia Morven, the enigmatic head of the London Coven. To stay in the city, Sadie must be bound by a lien – a promise to serve the coven, whatever’s asked of her. And while she’s not thrilled about putting her magic under Lavinia’s control or getting embroiled in more messy witch drama, she’s not going to humiliate herself by crawling back to the very person she came here to escape.

    Sadie might have left Gabriel Thornber in the north, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t visit her nightly in her dreams. Part of Sadie would give anything to be back in his arms again… but she fears the price for giving in is more than she’s willing to pay. Meanwhile, Gabriel didn’t just get into Sadie’s bed and her heart over the summer—he also schemed his way into a deal with her family. And it turns out that the new alliance has interests that conflict with Lavinia’s.

    Suddenly, Sadie finds herself in the shadow of a dangerous new ally, with no choice but to work against against the combined forces of her family and the man she both detests and desires. It’s not long before Sadie must confront Gabriel in court once again. She gave up her magic and her body to him before… with the dark powers of the London Coven behind her, will she be able to break free from his grasp for good?

    The Binding Mark is a dark fantasy romance that fans of The Atlas Six, A Deadly Education and the Zodiac Academy series will not be able to put down!

      Gabriel’s eyes haven’t left my face. There’s not much he can do to me that he’s not already entitled to: my body and my magic, served up on a plate in return for my brother’s freedom. I swallow hard. I’m hardly naïve—but I’ve never gone all the way. I can’t back out now. I can’t let my family down. Gabriel’s magic is radiating off him with an intensity I’ve never felt before. My vision begins to blur… Sadie Sadler lives in the big city. Takes the train to work each day. Drinks fancy coffee. Does yoga… and never, ever does magic, lest it leads Gabriel Thornber straight to her door. Sadie’s family have used their magic to protect the small northern town of Mannith for centuries. But now, Sadie’s brother Brendan is on trial for murder, and Gabriel, the charismatic and sinister head of the Sadlers’ only rivals, is moving to take the town. Only Sadie has both the knowledge to save Brendan and the magical strength to face down Gabriel. The trouble is, there’s a good reason Sadie left home and turned her back on magic: she bargained away her powers and her body to Gabriel to save her damn brother the last time he got in trouble. If she comes home, Gabriel will try to collect… but there’s no way she’ll allow her brother to rot in jail or her family’s strength to wane. Returning in disguise, Sadie’s plan to save Brendan and get out is tested as she’s dragged back into a world of magic and power, with Gabriel at its centre. Battling both her long-standing terror of him and a growing, dark attraction, she must decide who Mannith’s real villains are and how far she’ll go for her family. A promise made… a magical debt unpaid. This is a fight that could cost Sadie everything. The Twisted Mark is a dark fantasy that will keep you up all night. Perfect for fans of A Deadly Education, The Atlas Six and the Zodiac Academy series.

    Author

    Sophie Williamson

    "Sophie Williamson writes adult speculative fiction with a heavy side order of romance, generally involving some combination of morally ambiguous protagonists; villainous love interests; unreliable narrators; scheming, complex family dynamics; and big twists. She grew up in the north of England and now lives in London with her husband and their pre-school daughter and baby son. She studied history at Oxford University (she still loves the three Rs: Renaissance, Restoration, and Regency), then went to law school and qualified as a barrister. She now works for the UK Government. Her writing often draws on her knowledge and experience of history, law, and politics. Sophie loves reading as wide a variety of fiction as possible, though again fantasy of all kinds tends to be her favourite. She also enjoys reviewing novels and is an Amazon top 1000 reviewer and an enthusiastic NetGalley participant. Books aside, she’s fanatical about home exercise (mainly weights and yoga) and also about cooking – the two things just about balance each other out! She’s also a big fan of football (aka “soccer”) and indie/rock music."

      I’m not sure of why this book had such low ratings, tbh that’s why I started listening to it out of sheer curiosity for that fact and I was pleasantly surprised. A morally grey ML and lots of witchy coven drama, it kept me hooked.
