Description
His duty is to protect the princess, but his dragon’s desire to claim her is becoming impossible to ignore—and she’s about to uncover all the fiery secrets he’s been hiding.
Alina Ravenscroft has a plan: graduate from Coven Crest Academy, master her magic, and join the king’s powerful coven of witches. The only problem? The king is her grandfather, and he insists she can’t attend without a knight by her side. A bodyguard. A babysitter.
Raelan Ashvale is one of the king’s elite knights—and a secret dragon shifter. Raelan is assigned as Princess Alina’s personal guard. But there’s a catch: Alina is Raelan’s fated mate, and for the past three years, he’s been doing everything he can to ignore the overwhelming pull between them, the searing need to claim her and make her his own. He can’t afford to give in to his desire for her—especially when revealing the secret of his dragon could risk everything for Raelan and his family.
As Alina and Raelan are forced to spend more time together, the growing tension between them becomes impossible to ignore. Raelan has a duty to the king, to his family, and to his secret. But when danger draws closer and threats to Alina’s safety become all too real, Raelan will have to confront the dangerous truths about his dragon—and the powerful connection he shares with the princess.
A Witch and Her Dragon is the first book in a quartet of standalones set against the magical backdrop of Coven Crest Academy. If you like cozy books with tortured heroes and a dash of spice, this book is for you! Appropriate for readers 18+.

The book centers on Alina Ravenscroft, a determined witch aiming to graduate from Coven Crest Academy and join the king’s elite coven. Her plans are complicated by a royal decree: she must be accompanied by a knight. Enter Raelan Ashvale, an elite knight and secret dragon shifter, assigned as her bodyguard. Unbeknownst to Alina, Raelan is her fated mate, and he's been resisting the pull between them for years. As they spend more time together, the tension escalates, especially when threats to Alina's safety emerge, forcing Raelan to confront his secrets and desires. If you love a good dragon romance this is for you

This book was SUCH a fun ride! A Witch and Her Dragon is like the perfect mix of magical academy chaos, forbidden chemistry, and all the fantasy tropes I secretly (okay, not so secretly) love. The moment I met the dragon shifter love interest, I knew I was done for.
There’s drama, danger, spell-slinging, and just enough romantic tension to keep your heart racing. Plus, the academy setting? Totally immersive. It gave me all the nostalgic magic school vibes—but with a fresh, feisty heroine who’s not here to play by the rules.
If you’re into magical secrets, dragon boys, and sassy witches who don’t back down, you’re gonna love this one. It’s fun, fast-paced, and left me dying for book two.
*thank you to netgalley and the publisher for an early copy of this book in exchange for an honest review*

I wanted to kick Raelan! And kick him hard! Claim your woman already man, you're killing me!
I devoured this story like a lusty dragon inhaling the scent of his mate! From start to finish in about 4 hours, could not put it down!

4.5 ⭐️ rounded up! Thank you, NetGalley, for the eARC of A Witch and Her Dragon! I absolutely loved this book!
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ . 5 / 5
Spice level: 🌶️🌶️🌶️ . 5 / 5 (good amount of detailed spice 😮💨 but there’s still plenty of story that kept me hooked aside from it)
I’ve been genuinely loving cozy romantasy novels lately and this one did not disappoint! The plot is pretty centered around the romance aspect of the book, so it had me giggling and blushing most of the time 🤭.
A Witch and Her Dragon is well-written, charming, and certainly spicy 🥵. I loved the portrayal of the characters and how each of them had their own unique personality and I hope to learn more about them in any future Coven Crest Academy novels. 🤩
