Your magic awakes in your new college town—and so does your heart! Can you discover who is trying to steal your power before it's too late? 

Spellbound: Malachite Coven is an interactive romance novel by Erin Rowlands. It’s entirely text-based, 150,000 words and hundreds of choices, without graphics or sound effects, and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.

As you arrive at Jasper Falls College, you feel a strange magical power stirring within you. Soon, you’re invited to join the Malachite Coven, a secret group of mages who share your abilities. Your mother was part of the coven years ago—and now, so are you.

Choose your magical specialty: earth, air, fire, lightning, or water. Perform midnight rituals and pore over ancient grimoires full of powerful spells. Delve even deeper to uncover the past that your mother has concealed from you all your life.

But when someone steals the magic of a member of your coven, and it becomes clear that darker forces are at work in Jasper Falls. Can you help restore your friend’s power and find the culprit before your magic gets taken away too?

(And don’t forget to keep up with your classes—you might not be a mage for long!)

The pull of magic is strong, but the pull of your heart is stronger—especially when you’re growing closer to the other members of the coven every day. Which one of them will capture your heart?

There’s Jamie Arnoult, flirtatious and wealthy, child of Jasper Falls’s mayor. With devastatingly sharp fashion sense, perfectly-styled brown hair, high cheekbones, and sparkling emerald eyes, Jamie has a reputation as a heartbreaker—but there’s more to Jamie than meets the eye. 

Or there’s Blake Evander, competitive and driven in the classroom and sports field alike—nobody else could possibly be the leader of the Malachite Coven. Blonde and athletic with a lean toned frame, startlingly deep blue eyes, and a baseball cap for every occasion—but cleans up very nicely when it’s time for the college gala.

Or there’s gentle artist Kit Reynolds, who has broad shoulders, a warm brown complexion, and an even warmer smile; generous and friendly, with a quirky fashion sense and the kind of tender heart that hates to even step on a snail on a woodland hike.

Lennon Kobayashi is tall and brooding, always dressed in black with heavy metal playing on headphones—and yet deeply thoughtful about social issues, and infinitely gentle as a partner.

But what if you choose River Ortiz, the sweet and studious librarian with lovely wavy black hair who loves soft comfortable flannels? River doesn’t even know that magic exists—but has a shelf full of books about crystals and ley lines. Could you possibly share your secret?
