The Power Borne SJ Pearce 9781919300818

What if the world discovered witches overnight?

In the sleepy English village of Toresbury, Jade Usher has always found comfort in the quiet corners of her library and the steady love of her husband. But when the world is rocked by a televised battle between supernaturally gifted strangers, Jade's carefully constructed life begins to unravel. As the existence of witches is revealed to the world, Jade is forced to confront the impossible: the strange, uncontrollable power that has haunted her since childhood is real-and it is growing.

Hunted by a secretive magical order and courted by a seductive rebel who claims she is destined for greatness, Jade is thrust into a dangerous new reality where every choice could ignite a war. Torn between the man she loves and the truth of who she is, Jade must master her power before it destroys everything she holds dear.

Will she save humanity, or become its greatest threat?

If you loved "The Discovery of Witches", "The Magicians" or "The Bone Season", or are a fan of 'Hidden Powers', Enemies to Lovers', and the 'Reluctant Chosen One' tropes, then The Power Borne was written just for you!

It's a gripping tale of identity, betrayal, and the courage to claim your destiny-even when the world fears what you might become.

"High-octane story-telling, with a villain to die for..."

"...a gripping novel which draws you in..."

"It's such a page-turner."

"SJ Pearce's world-building abilities are up there with the best..."

"I can see the film/TV version in my head already!"

SJ Pearce writes contemporary fantasy with teeth; where magic bleeds into modern life, love burns hot enough to scar, and heroines rise from the ashes of their own doubt. A lifelong storyteller, she blends a background in publishing consultancy with a love for morally grey characters, impossible choices, and slow-burn seductions that hit as hard emotionally as they do romantically.
