The Lost Coven
With the Thirteenth it will begin…
Three centuries ago a Seer spoke of the birth of a witch, her magic an omen of change. It was believed the vision would never come to pass. Soon age-old secrets will reveal how wrong they were. For the thirteenth daughter is about to come into her power…
Emaleth Boswell comes from a long line of powerful witches. And for generations they’ve been stalked by a prediction uttered from a long-dead Seer. An inescapable burden since before Em was born, but she–like those before her–has learned to live with it.
For twenty-years Em has hidden in a normal life. Ordinary has been her safeguard. She doesn’t have time to worry about an old prophecy: she has grad school to consider, a resume to update, and a travel bucket list to complete with her best friend. Her plan doesn’t involve stepping outside her comfortably simple life.
The dawning of her twenty-first birthday, however, could bring an end to her carefully crafted routine. Em has done everything she can to prepare for this eventuality. But, after a chance encounter during a night out, her shield of normalcy is shattered and she’s thrown into a deadly struggle she wasn’t prepared for.
Desperate to protect those she loves, Em must embrace the power she’s buried her entire life and risk losing herself. The fight for control is just the beginning…

Em always knew she might have to leave her life behind, but she never intended it to happen this way. On the run from a humiliated Council and vengeful hunters, Em must face the consequences of revealing her lineage.

But the Covens of the Outliers may not be the allies she was hoping for. In her search for asylum a fatal secret is exposed leaving Em to reconcile her own beliefs with the undeniable facts.
