Supposedly, witches can’t kill. But Madison accidentally killed her boyfriend, and now a girl at her witch academy is dead, too. Madison spent her life avoiding her magical abilities, but when she’s forced to use them to save her best friend from a deadly storm and accidentally kills her boyfriend as a result, she decides she needs to enroll at La Voisin School for Young Witches after all. She knew starting a year later than her peers would come with its own struggles; she just never expected one of those struggles would be the impossible murder of a classmate. The school is spelled for safety, and witches can’t kill…so how did Giselle end up dead? Only Giselle and her killer know, and only Madison can find out. Because now, the dead witch is haunting her. Crazy thing is, Giselle’s murder isn’t even the biggest secret this school has. Just ask the statues.

New teachers, new students, and new magical secrets. The statues at La Voisin aren’t what they seem, and one in particular appears to have changed his position since last semester. But statues can’t move. Can they? A single touch to the stone figure reveals a life before this one. One where the statue made a brother pact with another man. A very familiar man. Unfortunately, Madison can’t seem to place him in her mind. But just when Madison thinks that’s the only mystery on her plate, her young new roommate goes missing, and her quest to find answers brings new light to the vision of the two men and reveals the dark secrets that run deep at this not-so-innocent school for witches.

Blood Magic could be the first step in freeing the statues, but performing the spell isn’t without consequences. There’s one way to break the stone curse of La Voisin School for Witches, and the secret lies within the Soule family book of shadows. But to find its location, Madison, Krista, and Ivy must perform a blood magic ritual using three not-so-simple the bones of a dead animal, the hair of a drowned girl, and an athame made of rubies and gold. Who would have guessed that last item would be the most dangerous to acquire? Just as Madison gathers the last item needed to perform the spell, she falls into a trap—one set by someone she once trusted. Now she’s finally discovered where the missing students have gone...only to realize she might be the next to disappear.

One mystery, however, is even bigger and more ominous than all the rest: What happened to the Soule Coven?
