If the unraveling weather in The Nature of Witches—with Clara’s Everwitch power pulled by the seasons as she and Sang scan the sky for killer storms—hooked you, you’ll love how the seaside town of Morro Bay wrestles with tides, wind, and dangerous magic. Like Clara balancing duty with desire, Mina and Evelyn sift through ghost-laced folklore and rising waters to decide what kind of witches they’ll be when the environment itself starts pushing back.

You watched Clara struggle to master season-shifting magic in class and greenhouse sessions, terrified a surge might hurt someone again—yet determined to use it against the superstorms. At the Scholomance, El Higgins faces a school that literally eats the unwary. The same tension—study or die, harness power or watch it harm others—drives every lesson and friendship. If you relished the training sequences and the high-stakes practice of spellwork, this turns that pressure up to eleven.

Clara’s Everwitch identity blossoms differently in spring versus winter, and her journey is as much about who she is as what she can do—especially in those quiet greenhouse moments with Sang where she learns to trust herself again. Briseis’s power to command plants is just as intimate and treacherous. As she inherits a rambling property filled with secrets and a locked garden, she must face the legacy of her gift and decide how to wield it without repeating past harm—an echo of Clara’s self-discovery.

If the tender, slow-burn connection between Clara and Sang—born among seedlings, whispered research, and the risk of her power flaring—was your favorite part, this delivers that emotional charge at full force. Lou, a witch in hiding, and Reid, a witch-hunter, are thrust into a marriage that crackles with chemistry and peril. Like Clara’s fear of loving someone she might hurt, Lou’s secrets could destroy the person she’s falling for, making every choice feel like a spell with a cost.

Clara’s Everwitch power is singular—and frightening—forcing her to weigh whether to bind it or wield it to calm climate chaos, even after it’s hurt someone she loves. Tea’s necromancy is just as rare and feared. As she trains, every act of raising the dead demands a reckoning: What price is acceptable to protect others? If you were gripped by Clara’s ethical dilemma—power that can save a world battered by storms but might cost her everything—Tea’s journey digs into that same thorny question.
