Perfect for readers of Naomi Novik and Katherine Arden, The Trial of Magdalena Overmorrow is a sweeping enemies-to-lovers debut epic for romantasy-curious fantasy readers, fantasy-curious romantasy readers, and all lovers of slowburn romance.

In her house, the villainy is her.

Scholar. Healer. Harlot.

Magdalena Overmorrow is all these things and more, especially when she’s performing illegal abortions for the women of Astoleyn. But when a close confidante exposes her secret, she faces a consequence worse than death. Banished to the realm's desolate northernmost city, she helplessly awaits her trial under the watchful aegis of Lord Proctor of Cair Gramora, a man so pious and humorless it is rumored that he has never once laughed in his life.

When she arrives though, Magda is surprised to find that the Lord Proctor isn't the grizzled old priest she expected but a man barely older than she is. As cold and mysterious and beautiful as the mountains at the cair's northern border, he holds her life in his hands. One word from him could send her back to prison and almost certainly to death at the stake, but she can’t help her fascination with the man and the secrets he’s clearly keeping. As she adjusts to life in the north and she’s drawn deeper into the intrigue of the isolated cair, she and the Lord Proctor must form an uneasy alliance that could either save her life or lead her to martyrdom and ruin.
