Some fates are harder to avoid than others.
Raised by three faerie godmothers who throw magic around like it's biodegradable confetti, matchmaker witch Lexi Balefire has always known she's not quite normal. Plus, you can't grow up down the street from where your grandmother was turned to stone — smack in the act of murdering your mother — and still think you're just like everyone else on the block.
For centuries, Lexi's badass witch ancestors were revered as Keepers of the Balefire, an enchanted flame that feeds the magic of all witchkind. Then her mother and grandmother went wicked and destroyed each other, along with the family's good name. Outcast and lacking guidance, Lexi's never unlocked more than a whisper of power, and tending the hearth is starting to feel like a second full-time job. One with long hours and lousy benefits.
She has until her twenty-fifth birthday to Awaken into her magic. After that the window closes forever, and the flame passes to the smug arch-nemesis who's been waiting years for exactly that.
Then a formerly happy client gets dumped by her supposedly unbreakable match, and Lexi's certain there's something more sinister at work than a simple change of heart.
Between three fighting faerie godmothers, a cat who is emphatically not just a cat, a half-fae best friend with opinions, and a new neighbor who is a genuinely inconvenient distraction, Lexi will have to dig deep into her own past and unearth forgotten secrets if she wants to break free from her family's shadow and carve out her own fate.
After all, being wicked is a choice. Isn't it?
If you love scene-stealing faerie godmothers, underdog witches coming into their power, found family in a chaotic magical household, and snarky, laugh-out-loud small-town Maine magic, you fit right into Port Harbor.
