About this book

Brigid Donovan just pulled off the impossible: she defeated a powerful coven of witches. The only downside? She accidentally exiled herself to the treacherous realm of Faerie. Stranded with dwindling magic, a loyal best friend, and a snarky talking cat named Mr. Mittens, Brigid finds herself in a race against time. To make matters worse, her nemesis, the sinister Sofia, has been dragged into this glittering nightmare alongside her.

This third installment of the Splintered Magic series masterfully blends urban fantasy with the rich, atmospheric allure of historical lore. As Brigid navigates the lethal politics of the Fae, she must rely on an unexpected found-family dynamic to survive. Forced-proximity throws her into a high-stakes alliance with her own ancient great-grandfather, turning their journey into a desperate scramble to return to Earth before Sofia steals her remaining power for good.

If you love coven-life drama, sharp-witted heroines, and worlds where every step could trigger a war, this is your next obsession. Brigid is evolving from a clumsy spellcaster into a formidable force, and the stakes have never been higher. Dive into a tale of chaos, magic, and survival that proves even in the heart of Faerie, family is the ultimate weapon.

Very satisfying!

This book, #3 in the series, was sooo great! I enjoyed this one the most so far. Brigid learns how to use her magic for real instead of blundering through her battles. These books are picking up speed as they go. I finished this one in less than a day and a half. That is in addition to cutting 2 yards, taking care of household chores, and loving and feeding 10 cats and one very needy Australian shepherd. Very definitely recommend this series to anyone who likes magic and intrigue as well as a...

A good read

The head witch in town, Sophia, is really getting on Brigid's nerves. She's taken things too far and now Brigid needs to fight her to keep her magic. A desperate move takes them into Fairie, which strips Sophia and Brigid of their magic. Sophia runs from them. Then Brigid, her human friend Megan, and Mr. Mittens are captured and taken to the High King. He takes an interest in Brigid and summons her grandfather. The King informs them he wishes to take her as his bride. That is not what she...

A Wonderful Cast of Characters You'll Cheer For

This was a fun, fast-paced story packed with action and plenty of humor. I love how Brigid and her friends gain confidence and mastery of their skills. The woman we met in the first book has embraced her magic, connected with her family, and deepened her friendships. Most importantly, she’s learned to stand up for herself and what she wants. When you throw in some fae court intrigue, a rekindled love interest, and a temperamental battle cat, you get a story that’s hard to put down. I loved...

My favorite so far

July 4, 2023

This is by far my favorite book so far in the series. I love Mr. Mittens. I enjoyed the MC’s growing relationship with her grandfather. I do find the romance a bit underwhelming, but that is a good thing since I am reading for the paranormal and not the romance. The setting in Faerie was awesome. I loved the incorporation of different kinds of shifters (Centaurs), and I really enjoyed that Mr. Mittens has a human form. As a human owned by Ragdolls, I am familiar with the breed and appreciate...
