Raised to be her father’s weapon against the Coven that took away his sister and his birthright, she would do anything to protect her younger brother from suffering the same fate. Her duty forces her to the secret town of Crystal Hollow and the prestigious Hollow’s Grove University, where the best and brightest of her kind learn to practice their magic free from human judgment. There are no whispered words here and no condemnation for the blood that flows through her veins. The only animosity she faces comes from the beautiful and infuriating Headmaster, Alaric Grayson Thorne, a man who despises her just as much as she loathes him and everything he stands for.

Secrets threaten to tear the school in two. No one talks about the bloody massacre that forced it to close decades prior, only the opportunity it can afford to those fortunate enough to attend. For the first time in fifty years, the Coven will open its wards to the Thirteen: thirteen promising students destined to change the world, if the ghosts of Hollow’s Grove’s victims don’t kill them first.
