Description

Her magick was hidden to keep her alive. When that power is unleashed, only one witch can protect her.

All Áine wants for her 22nd birthday is a night out in New York City with her normal, human friends. But when her roommate stumbles into oncoming traffic, Áine breaks the bind on her extraordinary, witch-born power to save her. With Áine’s magick now freed, her world shifts, and the voice of a male witch commands her to run.

Hunted by dark forces, Áine is taken to Aradia, the witch realm, by the mysterious and captivating witch, Daelon. A man of perfect control, Daelon needs Áine’s trust to protect her and train her to wield her magick. But Áine considers her “gift” more of a curse and wants nothing to do with the realm of her mothers’ murderers. Even worse, Daelon’s shielding ability makes him the only one impervious to her clairsentience—the ability to read others’ true nature.

As Daelon’s undeniable magnetism puts her under a spell of its own, Áine must decide how much trust and control she’s willing to relinquish. Because as enemies descend, it’s becoming harder to tell if her fierce protector is really a friend… or a foe.

For fans of Sarah J. Maas and Jennifer Armentrout, The Discovered is the first book in a paranormal fantasy romance series that features dangerous, sexy romance, a mind-bending multidimensional universe, and a witchy spin on what it means to have hope in the face of sorrow and darkness, and to have faith amid cruelty and deception.

Buy The Discovered today and join Áine on her journey through Earth, Aradia, and the astral realms on her world-saving quest for love, truth, and all things magick.

  • Obsessed!

    Still obsessing over this book! The Discovered is the perfect book if you like all things witchy and romantic. It’s the story of 22 year old Aine who was hidden in the human world until she is ready to discover her true self and purpose. When she’s saved by Daelon, her mysterious witch protector, and brought back to the witch realm, she begins her journey to discovering who she really is. This is such a good book, I literally could not put it down. It has the witchy aesthetic that Maggie Senseri delivers so perfectly, along with a slow burn romance and paranormal fantasy. I loved everything about this book! The relationship development between Aine and Daelon is spicy and endearing. And the world building is just mesmerizing. The ending does leaves you on a MAJOR cliff hanger so be ready to get the second book asap. This is the first book in a series of 5, the last of which that has yet to be released, but I would say it’s definitely worth it and leaves you wanting more!

  • Hard to Finish

    I hate leaving a book unfinished, but this one almost made me quit. I really enjoyed the concept and main character, but the love interest seemed far too controlling and the storyline was so slow. I read the entire book only to still not know nearly enough about the overall storyline to continue…

  • I tired

    I tried so hard to like this book. There were too many internal thoughts throughout the book and it’s the same thing over and over just wrote about differently. I thought ok… maybe when they introduced more characters in the book (being secluded with dealon) then it will be than just the MC thoughts and feelings (always the same) but when I reach 200+ pages and nothing has progressed, it was kind of disappointed. The suspense is great and it makes you want to finish to see what the MMC was hiding and who this “Julius” was. I stopped, read again, stopped, read another book, read again until I completed this book. Sadly, I won’t be purchasing the next. Very good writing but I wish it wasn’t so drawn out and if it’s going to be that long… keep it exciting until the great reveal.

    I found this book a few days ago and have already finished the two following it! I could not put this book down! The twists and turns and discoveries you make are riveting. The character development Aine and Daelon go through feels realistic and relatable, even on a fantasy level. The challenges they face in the quest for peace are interesting and not just black and white like many fantasy good vs evil novels. The books have nice depth and the representation of both POC and LGBT is wonderful! Worth the read!

  • Can’t wait for more!!!

    It’s been years since I found a book that made me absolutely ravenous for more. No lie, I read this in a single day. Between Áine’s sarcasm, tenacity, and internal conflicts and Daelon’s tough facade, impenetrable secrets, and tenderness, it is impossible for the reader not to see themselves represented in this book. The slow burn romance had me hooked from the main characters’ first interaction. But beyond the steamy chemistry and action scenes, there is a thoughtful spiritual web woven throughout the entire story like I have never read before. I'm really looking forward to the further exploration of these roots of Aradia and how deeply Áine will delve within them. Áine’s powers push the boundaries of what “all powerful” means and her journey of self discovery- in magick, sexuality, love, trust, and power- has only just begun. I was whisked away into Aradia for that one, blissful day of intense reading and I am eagerly awaiting my return! 5/5 stars for the start of a series that has made me excited to read again!!

    Loved this first book!!! Daelon first of all, so fine, he is literally my ideal book boyfriend bc let’s be real, who doesn’t want someone to just take charge like that??? I’m also excited to get to know more about another mystery man in the coming books 👀 Basically, this book hit all marks for me, it was spicy, a little kinky, and FULL of magick. What more could a girl want? The story line itself was one of the most unique fantasy/romance stories i’ve had the pleasure of reading. I was excited for each page and loved how we were experiencing the world as Aine was. I cannot WAIT for the rest to be released.
