What if the life you thought you wanted came with tighter manacles than the life you already have?
Raven Wynters had always known she was meant for more than this dying world had to give her. But when the duke offers her the position as his Favored Diamond, she hesitates. She’s skeptical about swapping the chains of her hard life for the duke’s gem encrusted shackles. When she is forced into an answer before she’s ready, Emric—a man with a mysterious background—rescues her and whisks her away to a world she only thought existed within her mother’s fairytales. A world full of life and magic.
But is this new adventure simply another set of chains?
In this new world, Raven is astonished to discover a family she didn’t know existed and a magic she didn’t realize she possessed. She’s even more surprised to find a dark and hot as hell companion in Basilius who challenges her to see beyond the end of her nose. But her trust and loyalty in the people surrounding her is jeopardized when a string of murders and kidnappings threatens her life.
Raven must question everything she has ever known and decide where she belongs in the world before her choice is taken away, or she will learn just how tight those manacles can be.
*Author's Note: This book is intended for readers 18 years and older. It contains mature language and explicit content.
A Witch’s Promise was a ride! Lots of upheaval and emotional moments, high stakes, creepy parts, and the occasional ~*spell*~. Would be an excellent beach read.

Praise & Reviews
This isn’t usually a genre I read but the storyline kept me wanting more, to find out what was going to happen next. It was cool to follow Annistyn’s journey as I could relate to her. A page turner and smooth read.

The story was enjoyable. Very well laid out and developed. You really begin to cheer for the main character at she evolves into what her family always knew she was. Great read
