An Uncertain Magic, the second book in AM Kvita’s Green Witch Cycle, finds the ancient gods returning to New York and draining the city’s magic. So of course, it is up to Brooklyn’s most chaotic coven to defeat the gods and avoid an apocalypse. No big deal.

“Charming and utterly unputdownable.” —Chloe Gong on An Unlikely Coven

 
Joan Greenwood has been adjusting nicely to her life away from her powerful witch family. She has an apartment with two friends and a ghost, a normal human job at an architectural firm, and a constant companion in the sentient magic beneath New York City. But when strange craters start to appear around the city it’s clear that her quiet life is about to be upended.
 
Then comes a panicked call from her best friend.
 
Joan arrives to find him possessed by an ancient god, but things go from bad to worse when her rival-turned-crush Astoria Wardwell arrives from California with the news that her best friend is also possessed.  The old gods are returning and they want their magic back. Joan and Astoria must work together, while ignoring their pesky feelings for each other, to free their best friends and save New York’s magic before the world as they know it is destroyed.
 

  • Praise for the Green Witch Cycle

    "Charming and utterly unputdownable. An Unlikely Coven is the perfect combination between sparkling humor and cosmic stakes, set within a magical New York City that unfolds to reveal an ingenious new world." ―Chloe Gong, New York Times bestselling author of Immortal Longings

    An Unlikely Coven is a wild romp through the backstreets of New York like you’ve never seen her. Full of witty banter, magical mayhem, and friends in high (and low) places, it’s a must read for urban fantasy lovers!” ―Shay Kauwe, author of The Killing Spell

    “Reading An Unlikely Coven feels like coming home. Featuring my favorite found family, an electrifying supernatural New York City, and a plot that doesn’t slow down for even a second, this is a hilarious and heartwarming start to a spellbinding series. AM Kvita is a talent to behold." ―S. Hati, author of And the Sky Bled

    An Unlikely Coven is crackling with mystical action and romantic tension. I was rooting for Joan and her coven all the way to the jaw-dropping finale.” ―Jas Hammonds, award-winning author of We Deserve Monuments

    "Kvita debuts and launches the Green Witch Cycle series with an impressively assured urban fantasy. What makes this shine, however, is their nuanced and believable character work. With an extensive and diverse supporting cast, the narrative reads like a love letter to friendship and community while raising age-old questions about the balance of right and wrong. This packs a paranormal punch." Publishers Weekly (starred review)

    "A wonderfully charming start to a new series." Booklist

    "Hand Kvita’s debut to fans of witchy reads, especially those looking for fantasy featuring queer and BIPOC characters." Library Journal
