The Warwick Shield
(2026)(The fourth book in the Curse Breaker Witches series)
A novel by Claire Robyns
Warwick Castle's ancient protection spells just activated for the first time in five centuries. And they want justice.
Maddie Crow was supposed to be on her first Ministry case — a straightforward consultation at Warwick Castle with the mysterious Agent Blade. Instead, she's sealed inside a medieval dungeon by magic older than the castle walls, with a dead body, a room full of suspects, and no way out until the killer is caught.
The only problem? Justice is complicated when the murder victim isn't who anyone thought he was, the dungeon's torture instruments are getting more creative by the hour, and Commander Beauchamp is clearly hiding something behind his military composure.
Then there's Ross Hamilton. The detective who almost kissed her and pulled away with secrets behind his eyes and words he won't say. The man who spent a night in the dungeon to protect her. It's...complicated. Whatever Ross isn't telling her, it's eating him alive — and being trapped with nowhere to run isn't exactly helping Maddie ignore the tension.
As the castle's ancient defences escalate from unsettling to deadly, time is running out to solve the murder.
Some wards are built to keep people out. This one was built to keep them in.
Genre: Paranormal Romance
