The Chronicles of the WitchBorn

Theadora Kathryn Blackwood's life is just the way she wants it. Thea focuses on what she wants to do, what she wants to study, and the local COVEN hierarchy leaves her alone. It took years for her to accomplish that much freedom, and now she is about to graduate college, the local coven leader has given her what she wants most.

Thea has made it to Apprentice and is exploring where her magic can take her when an outbreak of mysterious magical attacks sweeps NOLA. Bodies are piling up and strange dreams are the only thing connecting the bizarre deaths, a group of people thought to be members of a dark cult have gone missing, and a powerful cursed object seems to be responsible for a rash of violent crimes plaguing the city. Can Thea's nascent abilities be the key to unraveling all three cases?

Dark magic wreaths New Orleans and Thea isn't immune to its effects. Worse, the Coven witnesses her loss of control, and her boss at AID is asking questions of Thea's friends and teammates. Could the disappearance of Arthur Adderget be connected to the rising undead and the wards failing around the city? Getting involved with the Coven goes against Thea's better instinct, but there's only one way to find out. The team must investigate before NOLA's defenses are destroyed.

Things have been quiet in NOLA . . . Too quiet. The Coven had thankfully gone back to shunning Thea after the Silas debacle. Unfortunately, the brutal murders of several hedge witches leaves everyone involved with no option. They must present a united front—with Thea as the liaison between AID and the Coven. Thea finds motivation in the form of wanting to relieve Jax of the guilt he feels for mentoring the victims. The investigation opens doors within the Coven for Thea.

Thea is preparing to talk to the Coven about being the liaison with AID. When a snake changer attacks the Estate while she is waiting, she has to fight it alone. Then Brandon has to save his fellow council members after a demon tree attacks their meeting. When a fanged serpent tries to devour Thea's aunt Giselle, Thea has to determine who is behind the attacks. Is it one entity or many?

Jax and Brandon are on the hunt for a rogue caster and find a room full of dead young men—and Marie Laveau's ghost. Thea is having a different problem. Someone is banging on the bathroom door, demanding that she come out and explain herself. Can she never get a moment of peace?
