Luanne G. Smith’s Vine Witch trilogy is set in a version of France where magic is real and tied to specific crafts and places. The Vine Witch (2019) introduces a witch whose power flows through the vineyard she tends, and the loss of that connection drives the plot. The Glamourist and The Conjurer continue the story with new characters whose magic comes from different sources.
The trilogy’s strongest quality is its sense of place. Smith’s French wine country setting feels lived-in, and the connection between magic and winemaking gives the fantasy elements a physical, earthy quality. The books are atmospheric without being slow, and each installment expands the magical world while keeping the stakes personal.
