Suddenly, as her sixteenth birthday approaches, Lottie Jacobs starts having nightmares.

That’s when strange things begin to happen.

As the midnight hour to her birthday arrives, a magical veil dissipates, revealing to Lottie that she has been under a strong cloaking spell protecting her from an evil presence. In her pursuit to discover why she needed protection, she is caught up in a harrowing world of magic where she is the target of a vengeful enemy.

But she’s not fighting evil alone.

Lottie realizes she has powerful allies in an ancient coven with a history linked to the dawn of ages. They’re hiding a secret that Lottie is bound to, blood and bone.

Can they vanquish the evil coming for Lottie before it’s too late?

What if everything you thought you knew about your family—your gifts, your very purpose—was just the beginning?

In the mystical woodlands of ancient Northumbria, Mathilda Longhurst lives in quiet harmony with nature, her healing powers growing stronger by the day. But when a Beltaine ritual long-buried truths, she learns she’s destined for more than a peaceful life as a village witch. A dark force is rising—one bound to her by blood—and Mathilda must lead her sisterhood in a battle that will test the limits of their magic, their loyalty, and their humanity.

Eternal Enchantment is a sweeping tale of inherited power, forbidden love, and one young woman’s transformation from healer to protector of an ancient legacy. Perfect for fans of A Discovery of Witches and The Mists of Avalon, this richly woven debut will enchant and haunt you long after the final page.

Eternal Enchantment, a prequel to The Knowing, by Kimberly Patton, comes out in Spring 2026 from Highlander Press.
