Thea still wants to be a witch, but she refuses to spend the rest of her life trapped beneath traditions and rules that never made sense to her. She believes there is another path—the path of the witch-mage—and the lost writings of Ambrosius may hold the key.
But freedom comes at a price.
As Thea pushes deeper into the mysteries surrounding the Ancient’s Grimoire, she discovers that the legendary books are far more than forgotten pieces of magical history. Their knowledge can unlock extraordinary power, but Ambrosius himself feared what would happen if that power fell into the wrong hands.
At the same time, Thea’s relationship with Brandon grows stronger, even as danger continues to follow them. Between coven politics, hostile magical forces, and secrets surrounding her family, she can no longer tell who deserves her trust.
To become free, Thea may have to challenge the very people who raised her.
And the greatest threat may already be inside her own coven.
