Rise and Divine, The Witches of Thistle Grove Book 5 By Lana Harper

In the latest enchanting addition to the Witches of Thistle Grove series, Daria “Dasha” Avramov faces a dual challenge: saving her town and reconciling with her past love. As a skilled necromantic witch known as a devil eater, Dasha’s unique talent for banishing demons and navigating the veil between realms is both a gift and a curse. Haunted by the loss of her parents and an obsession with the supernatural, Dasha remains fiercely independent, avoiding emotional entanglements.

Her greatest regret is the end of her relationship with Ivy Thorn, the wise and empathetic event planner at Honeycake Orchards. Their breakup has left a rift that Dasha hopes to mend as they are forced to work together on the Cavalcade—a month-long festival celebrating Thistle Grove’s ceremonial founding. Despite Dasha’s hope for a third chance at love, Ivy is guarded, determined not to be hurt again.

As they collaborate on the festival’s elaborate events, the lingering tension between them sparks both unresolved passion and emotional healing. However, their personal drama is overshadowed by a grave threat to Thistle Grove, one that challenges everything they know about the supernatural. Together, they must confront this new danger and confront their own fears and feelings, finding a path to both redemption and true love amidst the magical chaos.
