Phoenix Park is the man I fantasize about...hitting with my car, that is. He's rich. He's sexy. He's the absolute worst. But after I fall prey to an internet scam and lose every last penny in my account (please don’t ask), it’s Phoenix who swoops in with an offer I can’t refuse. I’ll marry him for the summer so he can inherit the family company from his dying grandmother, and in return, he’ll drop a hefty sum of money into my bank account.

Elara has only one goal in her life: to convince her mother to treat her like the fully grown witch she is and let her attend a Coven meeting. But on her 25th birthday, Elara discovers that her mother had good reasons for keeping her away from the Coven and her grandmother, its unfeeling Crone.

At eight years old, Nasya Ember was sold into a mysterious organization called The Order. She and several other girls were taken and trained by a group of women known as The Mothers. Training was extreme. The Mothers were ruthless. The girls who graduated from training were lethal. And for Nasya, training did more than prepare her to become a Hand of The Order. Each step forward in training awakened new things from inside of her, things neither she nor The Mothers can completely explain.

I’ve had a crush on my brother’s best friend my entire life. Once, in high school, I even got a taste of what it would be like to be with him thanks to some well-placed mistletoe: incredible and humiliating. We always spend Christmas with Max’s family at our cabin, and every year I have to suffer through a blissful week with him in a completely platonic way. His steady stream of girlfriends have made him off limits . . . until now. It’s Christmas. We’re at the cabin together. And Max Dawson is single.

I always thought my biological father was a scumbag criminal, too busy selling illicit drugs to take care of his only daughter. The truth, as it turns out, is 10 times worse—he’s a literal monster, and he’s taken my family hostage. Now, he’s sending me to Southeastern University for the Magically Gifted, which is basically hell, high school, and a country club all rolled into one. He wants me to manifest my hidden powers, or something of that nature. But my powers are really good at hiding.

Returning to Southeastern is nothing short of a nightmare—and at this point, I’m an expert on those. My half-sister and cousin hate me, which is fantastic since we’re living together on campus.

After one semester of college, I’m ready for a break. But as much as I’d like to take some me time and relax, there’s no rest for the wicked. Which is exactly what I am: wicked. Clearly I’m smart, too, because instead of going to the therapy sessions I obviously need, I’ve taken a trip to the past. At least I have some sort of goal now. To kill Astaroth, and maybe my father too, I need the Divinities Sword.
