From USA TODAY and WALL STREET JOURNAL bestselling author, meet Maia and Donal, a witch and a warlock from two different worlds. Dystopian Fantasy Romance. “ You ’ re not white magic at all. Not a bit o ’ ye. You ’ re red magic... like me.” Born to be successor to the Regent’s throne, and the highest-ranked witch in the holy lands of District 6, Maia sees her birthright as little more than a genetic practical joke, and a source of constant worry. Unlike every other witch Maia knows, and certainly her mother, Maia is a hopelessly, terrible witch. She can’t do magic at all, no matter how hard she tries. Faced with the looming humiliation of being replaced as successor to the throne, Maia is on the verge of giving up when a chance meeting on a lonely pier changes everything for her. A lone, angry warlock makes a deal with her that morning: he’ll tell her who and what she really is, if she agrees to set him free. The fact that he’s handsome, frustratingly familiar in some way she can’t pinpoint, and seems to know more about her than she knows herself, causes her to take his questionable deal. In doing so, Maia learns things about her perfect, idyllic kingdom that she never wanted to know, and nothing in her life will ever be the same again. Standalone novel. No cliffhanger.
