A single blow shattered my life of glass. They shouldn’t have left me with the shards. Eloise knows the name of her mother’s murderer, but she cannot speak it. A curse keeps her silent and locked in the tattered remains of her once charming life. Though magic holds her tongue, it doesn’t quell the smoldering spark of her anger or her need to learn the reason behind her mother’s death. However, games of magic have dire consequences. Desperate to keep those she loves safe from the repercussions of her actions, Eloise must make a bold gamble with her safety.

When the sudden and suspicious death of Eloise’s mother points to forbidden magic, Eloise is determined to bring her mother’s murderer to justice. She will stop at nothing to find the killer...even if the clues lead right to the palace gates and the prince’s manservant Kaven. He is irrational, volatile, and prone to knocking women off horses. Given his personality, it should be easy to find the proof she needs to place him in irons. However, when dark magic is used, nothing is as it seems, and Eloise is about to learn that nightmares often hide behind fairy tale lives.

Abused but not beaten, I will break the curse. With the reason behind her mother’s death revealed, it’s a race for Eloise to exact her revenge and prevent her stepsisters from marrying the prince. However, amidst the glittering jewels and colorful ball gowns, the royal court holds secrets of its own that will devastate Eloise and strike a final blow to her plans. Betrayed by the one person she thought she could trust, Eloise questions how far she’s willing to go for revenge. After all, in the game of kingdoms, everyone is a pawn.

Kate Finch can’t see a way out. Murderous spirits stalk her. Determined killers mistake her for a corpse and bring her to the most harrowing place imaginable. But what if the demon-swept ruins of Salem hold the one secret powerful enough to reignite her guttering hope?

So does a curious ability to master spells.

Kate Finch keeps her promises. Even the ill-advised ones - like her promise to rescue the woman from the rebellious Rattlesnake Society who once pointed a pistol at her head. Or her agreement to help Grayson Whitelocke lay to rest the rumors about his late brother’s crypt. Yet nothing she does escapes the notice of the mysterious demon communicating to her through a magic device. Taunting her, threatening her. When each unrelated promise leads her back to the alarming magic rising in the forests and vales around Salem, Kate’s loyalty faces the ultimate test.

Kate Finch imagined she could author her own fate — become the indispensable apprentice, the loyal friend, the master of her witchcraft. Now she doubts everything. Her mentor August Swaine has no patience with her. Everyone she’s trusted with her secret is under surveillance by the new governor, a man nursing a deadly obsession with Kate. And her witchcraft bends to its own will. What she never imagined was that Swaine would start showing signs of demonic possession, the dark bane of sorcery.

Three years as the colony’s minister of magickal sciences, Kate still feels like an imposter. When she’s approached by her most vocal critic to help with a strange disappearance, she reluctantly agrees. But nothing adds up. A woman both dead and not dead. Unquiet spirits immune to her witchcraft. Signs of a long-rumored realm of ghosts.

Until now, the map was only the stuff of legend…but with its help, Grace may finally be able to hunt down the Mordgris, the sea monsters who stole her mother away from her.
