Freed by the Witchbone Knife
(2026)(The third book in the Arcane Artifacts series)
A novel by Melissa Mitchell
Trespassing on a reclusive werewolf's land? Terrible idea.
When a grumpy werewolf crushes your expensive lunarium detector under his boot and growls "get off my property," the smart move is to run. But I need what's hidden beneath his land—it might be my only chance to break the family curse I've been living with since birth. I'm Professor Rebecca Miller, and I'm running out of time.
Axel MacKinnon is a scarred, reclusive wolf who's been hiding away on his mountain for decades. He's also infuriatingly attractive, surprisingly tender when he thinks I'm not paying attention, and absolutely not interested in helping me search his property.
But when the manipulative witch who wants to force me into marriage shows up with contracts and threats, Axel's protective instincts override everything else. Suddenly I'm living in his cabin, discovering the gentle soul beneath all that growling, and trying desperately not to notice every little thing he does for me. The way he looks at me with those amber eyes? It makes me want things I shouldn't—especially when he's convinced he's too damaged to deserve them.
The curse is getting worse. And breaking free means asking Axel to confront the demons he's spent centuries avoiding. I came to these mountains desperate for answers, but I'm starting to think the real magic might be convincing this stubborn wolf that some things are worth fighting for. Including us.
Some curses break more than magic. And loving a damaged wolf might be harder than breaking the curse itself.
Freed by the Witchbone Knife is a spicy paranormal romance featuring forced proximity, a grumpy/sunshine dynamic, a possessive wolf learning to love again, and a brilliant heroine who refuses to give up on either her magic or her mate. Perfect for readers who love their urban fantasy with heat, heart, and happily ever afters.
Genre: Paranormal Romance
