Rumor Malefic

Magic is outlawed in Willowspire.

Only the most basic of spells are permitted, our gifts reduced to sudsing laundry water and banishing mice. Our town was abandoned by the ones appointed to protect us: The Blackthorne Boys. High and mighty, they hide in their castle while our town suffers. When our two beloved mothers were taken by the rapture and our town was plagued by the monsters in the woods, my one job became protecting my sister Prism at all costs.

But I failed—and she was taken.

With my coven's blessing, I began my quest to punish and compel the only ones who could help—The Blackthorne Boys.

They are more enigmatic and powerful than I ever could have imagined.

Their power beckons me. It dances over my skin, it haunts my dreams, and entices me forward.

Will I be able to follow through with my task at any cost? Or will the allure of the dark magic on their tongues prove too impossible to resist?

I'll make them listen, I'll force them to help me get my sister back; nothing, not even their piercing eyes and tender touches, will stop me.

I will Hex the Blackthorne Boys.

Prism Malefic

It was my wedding day when I was taken.

My first night as a married woman should have been spent in the arms of my new husband—instead, I was stolen away in the claws of a monster. Not just any monster, a Wither—the most terrifying and powerful creature in our realm. The monsters that haunted the legends of old, the creatures who plagued our town and did Asunder's bidding, the beings who stole women at their marriage rites if their fiancé's didn't show.

And my fiancé didn't show.

Now the worst of the worst had happened, and I'd been one of the unlucky women stolen away from everything she'd known.

I had two choices: give up and die… or fight to be alive.

Yet through my delirium and heartache, something about the monster began to connect with me in ways I never could have imagined. A new world beyond my gloomy little town was revealed, and the claws and fangs of the beast became less of a terror and more of a comfort.

When it comes time to decide between who everyone thought I was and who I really am… what would I choose? The safety of my past or the roaring and dangerous reality of an unknown future?

The clock is ticking, my sister is coming for me, and the time to choose a side is here.

The question is… do I rest in familiar hate or do I accept a horrifying new love?

How far would you go to protect the people you love? Would you sacrifice your humanity? Surrender to the dark? Hex the Blackthorne Boys is a gothic fantasy story about two sisters, their romances, and the dark magic surrounding them.
