The Heart’s Desire series by Dana Marie Bell moves away from her shifter-focused Halle books into a world of witches and warlocks. Shadow of the Wolf opens the series with a romance between a witch and a wolf shifter, blending magical systems with the mate-bond romance that Bell’s readers know well. The series has a darker edge than her Halle Pumas books, with more emphasis on magical conflict and power struggles.
Hecate’s Own, The Wizard King, and Warlock Unbound continue the storyline, introducing more powerful magical characters and expanding the series’ mythology. The books were published between 2009 and 2015, with the later entries filling in the world’s magical hierarchy. Readers who enjoy Bell’s humor and romantic pairings but want a stronger fantasy element will find this series a good fit.
