It doesn't matter that the Witches' Council found her innocent or that her magic was once viewed as a marvel―that night on the lake changed everything. But these 10 science fiction romance books (Han and Leia included) deliver on the feels in a big way, even if the stakes aren’t always quite as high as battling an evil empire.After a night of magic turns deadly, Iris Gray vows to never let another person learn she's a witch. When that’s your standard, it’s no wonder a lot of love stories fall short. Wild is the Witch is a deeply atmospheric and emotionally raw story about forgiveness, vulnerability, and learning to move forward through pain. Maybe it’s because I’m looking for that Han and Leia tier romance (see The Princess and the Scoundrel below) full of banter and complicated feelings and the highest of high stakes. A young witch unintentionally releases a fatal curse in this frenemies-to-lovers romance.
