About The Book
For the Kingdom. For the magic. And for love . . .
Seventeen-year-old Aurelia Wycherley is entering her debutante season as a witch. Aurelia should be excited about finding the perfect match to tether her magic to. But her magic is cursed – dark, dangerous, and not the kind that her peers want to match with – and, without a tether, she faces losing her magic completely.
But when Aurelia learns that enigmatic, aloof Jules, a member of arch enemy family the Nightlys, is searching for a way that a witch can keep their magic without tethering, she realises he may be her only hope. A forbidden alliance is formed . . . but as they navigate the Magical Season with its glamoured balls and perilous trials, they uncover dark forces that threaten their families and the magical world they live in.
Expect family secrets, generational curses, forbidden romance, gorgeous ballgowns, bribery, extortion, trespass, magic and kissing . . . lots of kissing.

Raves and Reviews
Avery has created an inventive escapist fantasy where magical ability meets societal nobility, where forged alliances are life-changing, and for cursed outcast Aurelia Wycherley, potentially lifesaving. With a swoon-worthy Regency setting, feuding families and deadly curses, a wickedly fun opposite-sides-of-the-same-coin heroine and hero, treachery and backstabbing galore and more than a little romance, The Wycherleys will surely be the talk of the Season! Perfect for reading by candlelight in the back of a darkened ballroom while you wait for your mysterious paramour to find you and spirit you away!
– Melinda Salisbury, author of Her Dark Wings
I’m obsessed with this captivating and fiercely romantic book. Annaliese Avery cleverly weaves a magical world of family curses, glittering ballgowns and characters you can’t help but fall in love with. A beautiful story, beautifully written.
– Kathryn Foxfield, author of Good Girls Die First
I am utterly captivated by this addictive and swoony fantasy romance! Aurelia is brave, bold and wears her curse proudly. Jules is Mr Darcy for a new generation. They set the standard for courtship. If you're not committing felonies together, is it love?
– Rosie Talbot, author of Sixteen Souls
A fun, tense, enemies-to-lovers romance with magic and plenty of secrets. Nothing is as it seems. It had me gripped from the first page.
– Zeena Gosrani, author of This Dark Heart
From the first perfect line, The Wycherleys had me hooked. It’s the perfect swoon-worthy fantasy-romance featuring everything I love: wonderfully drawn characters to fall and root for, an alternate history with ballgowns and broomsticks, curses, magic with a clever twist, and a world I’d love to visit.
– Dominique Valente, author of the Starfell series
A truly magical read that filled a Bridgerton-shaped hole in my heart and added magic! Gorgeous writing and characters to fall in love with – I adored it.
– A.F. Steadman, author of the Skandar series
