Lost Witches of Aradia

All Áine wants for her twenty-second birthday is a night out in New York City with her normal human friends. But when her roommate stumbles into oncoming traffic, Áine breaks the bind on her extraordinary witch-born power to save her. With Áine's magick now freed, her world shifts, and the voice of a male witch commands her to run. Hunted by dark forces, Áine is taken to Aradia, the witch realm, by the mysterious and captivating witch Daelon. A man of perfect control, Daelon needs Áine's trust to protect her and train her to wield her magick. 

Held captive by the evil, illegitimate King of Aradia, Áine is forced to conceal her true magick or face certain death. King Lucius shouldn't have allowed her to live. But blinded by paranoia and arrogance, he has big plans for Áine and her coveted, ineffable power. With her life hanging in the balance, Áine finds herself making hard and fast decisions about who to trust—especially when it comes to her former trainer and fierce protector Daelon. With Daelon back at Lucius's side as the Commander of the Guard, Áine struggles to see beyond his betrayal and to embrace the destiny they both share.

After surviving Nathaniel's violent plot, Áine is fiercely determined to travel to the Akashic Records and uncover the dark reality behind Lucius's unnatural rise to power. As she strives to fulfill her destiny to free the truth from its binds and restore the natural balance of the Universe, Lucius only grows more adamant that Áine is his—a gift from the heavens that ordained him King. To make matters worse, Nathaniel may have succeeded in planting the seed of doubt into the King's mind, casting Daelon and Áine's relationship under harsh scrutiny.

Iciera is a land untouched by the Shadow King's evil reign, and Áine and Daelon must convince the witches who live there that joining the fight for Aradia's restoration is the only way it will remain protected. Despite being plagued by nightmares and worry for the allies and friends they left behind, Áine and Daelon find themselves embraced by the Icieran people. While they train for the battles to come, they must also prepare for the lengths that Lucius will go to make Áine his Queen.

With the fate of Aradia in Áine's hands, she must choose between letting the love of her life die or submitting to the Shadow King. While rebellion against the Kingdom intensifies across the realm, Áine, Daelon, and the Icierans are drawn to Aurora Aurea, where witches are gathering to build an army. Áine and Daelon's relationship is put to the test when Daelon's body and mind are ravaged by poison. As the sickness draws out Daelon's dark side, Áine must reckon with her own shadow self, a beast that grows ever stronger as her mountain of secrets reaches new heights.

As uprisings and rebellions rage across the realm, Áine grapples with the consequences of her perilous decision. Drowning under the burden of grief, guilt, and shame, she wrestles with the shadows for control of her body and soul. Though her fierce protector, Daelon, has gone cold and unreadable—he remains in the castle, compelled to watch the love of his life get ever closer to his enemy. When Lucius urges his new Queen to help him squash the revolution, Áine is forced to decide once and for all: fight for the realm or submit to the shadows.

Lucius, the man Áine loved, is dead. The Shadow King is merely Angelina's puppet, her conduit for dark, sinister magick that's drawing the Void ever closer. Angelina doesn't want to rule the world; she wants to destroy it. Free from the shadows and reunited with her coven and family, Áine has never been stronger. In claiming her position as Aradia's Chosen One as war rages across the realm, she is forced to bury her shame, guilt, and confusion.
