The Serpent & Dove series by Shelby Mahurin is set in a richly imagined world where witches are hunted and feared, and the Church holds powerful authority over magic. The story centres on a rebellious witch and a devout witch hunter whose lives become dangerously intertwined, forcing them into a reluctant alliance that challenges everything they believe about duty, faith, and each other. Across the series, tensions rise as hidden identities, dark magic, and escalating threats pull them deeper into conflict, blurring the lines between enemy and ally. As loyalties are tested and secrets come to light, the story explores themes of love, sacrifice, and the cost of choosing your own path in a world determined to control it.
