Lori Devoti

Lori Devoti combines magic, adventure, and relationship-driven fantasy built around magical societies, divided loyalties, and characters whose powers carry political consequences. The Witch Thief is the sixth book in her Nine Worlds series. Devoti’s official page identifies its series position and presents Joarr Enge, a dragon shifter seeking revenge on Amma, the witch whose earlier choices led to his imprisonment. The Open British National Bibliography independently records Devoti as author, Mills & Boon as publisher, and the 2012 edition. Their reunion begins in hostility, but a wider threat forces former enemies to reconsider what each believes about betrayal, control, and survival. The established Nine Worlds setting supplies traditions and conflicts larger than the central pair, while the book’s immediate tension remains rooted in past events they share. The Witch Thief offers a later-series story where magic, inherited rules, and unresolved grievance shape an alliance neither character expected to need.
