About this listen

The follow-up to the sensational #1 Sunday Times bestseller Her Majesty’s Royal Coven

All is not as it seems within the halls of Her Majesty’s Royal Coven…

Despite thinking they’ve thwarted the prophecy, the witches are still reeling from the events of the past few months.

Ciara now occupies her twin sister’s body as she prepares to take on the role of High Priestess. But why are the sinister government agents of the Shadow Cabinet so invested in her coronation?

And then there’s the small matter of Dabney Hale: freshly escaped from Grierlings prison, he’s on the hunt for a mythical object that will give him unimaginable power. Leonie’s brother is on the trail, but doesn’t know the danger he now faces, and so she sets off to bring him home and bring Hale to justice.

Meanwhile, Theo and Holly are left to their own devices. Theo to work out how her miraculous transformation took place and Holly to discover what’s going on with her mum and dad. Elle’s Instagram-perfect world is about to come crashing down in the most terrifying way.

Payback’s a witch as Ciara, Leonie, Elle, Theo and Holly are about to find out.

After finishing HMRC only 2 months before TSC was published; I was so excited to continue to see what the coven had ahead and wasn’t disappointed in the slightest. The modern references were absolutely spot on, and I had multiple teary moments as a queer woman.
Not only is Juno an incredible author, Nicola Coughlan is the PERFECT choice of narrator! I adored her narration in HMRC and was just as in love the second time around.
This series has bought me so much immense joy and I’m so thankful for that. 🌟🌙

Perfect author - perfect narrator.

Love the portrayal of strong, flawed characters. The mix of real life concerns & the supernatural is fascinating in the story line.

It is safe to say I am hooked on this series. Totally wrapped up in it and can’t wait for the next instalment.

What a compelling story

If you love fantasy fiction you’ll love this series. If, like me, you’re a mature adult who longs to read stories with mature adult protagonists, you’ll love it more. And it keeps getting better. HMRC is an intersectional feminist’s dream series. So, if you’re someone who uses the word “woke” as an insult, $&@% off, you’re not welcome here lol. Anyone else whose interests include social justice and thumping good narrative, get on it!

Brilliant storytelling
