Portrait of a Witch Undone

Portrait of a Witch Undone

Thirteen stolen works of art. One haunted marsh. And a Boston witch willing to risk everything for the friend she’s already failed.

For readers who love witchy fantasy, gothic fiction, dark academia, New England folklore, haunted museums, magical mysteries, and atmospheric fantasy, Portrait of a Witch Undone is an eerie debut perfect for fans of Starling House and A Discovery of Witches.

Once, Maeve Ryan was the strongest witch of her generation. Then she botched a spell meant to contact the Lady of the Fens, an eerie Revenant who lures the unwary to their deaths in the brackish marshlands of Boston's North Shore. The failed spell destroyed Maeve's reputation, hurt her best friend Ash, and left Maeve infected with unbound, wild magic that threatens to transform witches into Revenants themselves.

Now, with that dangerous magic slowly consuming her mind, Maeve wants only one thing: to get rid of her magic forever.

But Ash's research into the failed spell uncovers a strange connection between the Lady of the Fens, the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum art heist, and thirteen masterpieces stolen in one of the most infamous unsolved art thefts in history. When Ash disappears through the empty frame of one of the stolen paintings, Maeve has no choice but to follow.

Beyond the frame lies the Other Marsh, a haunting and deadly realm where the Lady makes the rules. Hidden within this half-world are secrets about the North Shore's history, Maeve's magical failure, and the fate of the stolen masterpieces.

To find Ash and uncover the truth, Maeve must navigate a world of witches, folklore, stolen art, dangerous magic, and supernatural secrets. Along the way, she risks her friendship, her coven, and her life against enemies who may have been hiding in plain sight all along.

Perfect for fans of gothic fantasy, witchy books, haunted New England settings, magical mysteries, folklore, complicated friendships, and the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum art heist.
