Synopsis:
Sixteen-year-old Katherine
Thompson wasn’t trained to rule a coven. That was her sister – perfect,
beautiful Rose. But when a mysterious plane crash kills off the heir
presumptive of the Sandersville coven she has no choice. After stepping
in to fill her sister’s shoes, Katherine realizes she didn’t have a clue
– faery wars, depressed trolls and angry unicorns are just the
beginning.
For centuries, her family has served the high Queens on both sides of the Atlantic but it is a well-known rule that mid-level witches stay away from high-level Queens. But when Katherine’s youngest cousin vanishes without a trace in the Atlanta court and no one wants to investigate, Katherine decides to step into the darkness on her own. She soon discovers that nothing, especially in the Atlanta High Queen’s court, is as it seems.
When she accidentally opens a rift in the search for her cousin, Richard LeCross, the Queen’s warlock, decides that Katherine is more trouble than she’s worth. He determines that this mortal, dangerously close to becoming a High Queen, needs to die. But killing Katherine is easier said than done. For a young woman who’s always believed in right versus wrong, she’s about to go head over heels into the dark side.

Purchase:
As Mrs. Peabody
narrowed her eyes, sniffed, and then turned to pick on another
student, Katherine drifted off. In a daydream, a memory, a
premonition, or something that was all of those things in one. She
watched through the frosty window as a maelstrom of black clouds,
heavy lightning, and rain appeared in the morning sky.
For a moment she
felt a sharp pain, the same kind she felt when her mother had
fractured her knee surveying corn last week. She’d known the moment
the Queen of Sandersville had fallen and had felt her mother’s pain
from miles away. She had asked Rose about it later. After chiding her
about releasing a powerful flare of magic in response and setting an
acre of forest on fire in the process, as if Katherine had had a
choice,
Rose had explained that she’d also started to sense the pain of
others late in her fifteenth year.
But
this ache was different. It was worse, and she had no idea what was
causing it. Then she felt her gifts rise. The dark gifts. The
dangerous part of her that was her witch’s gift. The part of every
witch and warlock’s magic that was innate to them, unique to them.
That one special gift that made every coven member different from the
rest. That couldn’t be duplicated with spells or trapped with
magic. Rose’s was her affinity to plants. Their mother’s was her
command over earth. But Katherine’s was unlike either of those. It
wasn’t weird and unique, like Thu Kim’s ability to awaken
awareness in inanimate objects, or cool, like Connor’s telepathy.
No, hers was a call. A call that brought destruction in its wake.
With a shock,
Katherine snapped out of her vision. She could feel her power
building in a swirl of darkness in the pit of her stomach. Like a
twister, it was ready to emerge. Standing up in a hurry, she ran
between the desks in an effort to get out the door. To get somewhere
quiet. Somewhere safe where she wouldn’t hurt anybody.
She was holding on
by a thread.
