Okay, let’s start out by saying this book is a compendium, not a novel. I had no idea what a compendium was until my good friend Merriam Webster informed me. Compendium: 1) a brief summary of a larger work or of a field of knowledge; 2) A collection or compilation. This is all the ExtraOrdinary knowledge I’ve collected and written down in the little black book Ilithyia gave me as a death-day present. The same night she gave me the spiel about the important purpose I’d serve as The Seer. I have more questions about the Order than I have answers for, but I’ve decided to serve my higher purpose by constructing this encyclopedia for the Ordinary world. The Seer’s 7 Deadly Fairy Tales also includes a truthful account of what happened to me, and a peek into what transpired while Locke and I were sent away to Blessingston. It’s full of definitions, cool illustrations, and the first of seven fairy tales that will be told over the course of the series. If you’re dying to know what goes on behind the veil of secrecy Salem is shrouded in, feel free to read this compendium. But beware, the Order has one rule about recording ExtraOrdinary events—it’s strictly forbidden. So just to be on the safe side, you might want to destroy this after reading it. But don’t worry about me getting in trouble, I’m already dead! The Seer

A powerful vate and the last in her line, Keleigh denies the potent magic singing through her blood because she wants to be Ordinary. Keleigh has the ability, but not the training, to save her parents from slaughter by beasts most only see in horror movies. But after they perish, her mother reaches out from the OtherWorld, freeing Keleigh from her oath never to practice magic and imploring her to find an ancient relic powerful enough to destroy this realm. Keleigh, no longer able to deny her true calling, begrudgingly turns to her sworn enemy for help. Locke is a damaged druid whose family is entrusted with keeping witches cloaked in the Ordinary world in Salem. But Locke has a mission of his own, one that might not align with Keleigh’s. Can the two come together to find the ancient artifact in time to save each other and the world from plunging into compete chaos? This fairy tale is about to become deadly because all’s fair in vanity’s war.

Locke embraces the magical legacy he wields, but it didn’t help him save the girl he loved. Now he’ll have to use everything he’s learned since the Seer’s death to safeguard Keleigh and find a magical object hidden and only whispered about for centuries. By the light of the next blue moon, the ShiningOnes plan to infiltrate this realm and retrieve the mighty relic. The Elders are prepared to sacrifice anyone to acquire it. The Sisters will manipulate anyone to safeguard it. While every other witch in the Order whispers and warns about the artifact’s power, Locke and Keleigh follow clues from her mother’s message, hoping to retrieve it. But if Locke and Keleigh don’t locate the relic first, the battle brewing between sacred knowledge and modern communication will destroy everything—even their love. When fairy tales hold ancient secrets, many may have to be revealed because something greedy this way comes.
