★ "A sensuous and haunting story of love beyond time." -Library Journal (Starred Review)

In an England fuelled by stories, the knight and the witch are fated to fall in love and doom each other over and over, the same tale retold over hundreds of lifetimes.

Simran is a witch of the woods. Vina is a knight of the Queen's court. When the two women begin to fall for each other, how can they surrender to their desires, when to give in is to destroy each other?

As they seek a way to break the cycle, a mysterious assassin begins targeting tales like theirs. To survive, the two will need to write a story stronger than the one that fate has given to them.

But what tale is stronger than The Knight and the Witch?

I genuinely enjoyed this book. The writing was very simple and the plot points were a bit obvious, but this stories characters are well developed and you understand their motivations and heart. My biggest complaint, and this books biggest sin, is redundant statements.

Something akin to, well if Simran wondered how Vina felt then she had no way of knowing.

Yeah, no duh. None of have anyway of knowing. You don't have to tell us after you showed us. You can trust us to read between the lines. These redundant type of statements are a big pet peeve for me.

And even with all of that, it was an enjoyable saphic romantasy
