Zoe Lake and Aric Winters thought they were living happily ever after. They were wrong. Five years after surviving Covenant College’s final showdown, they find themselves at a crossroads. They’re living together. They’re happy. There is no future set in stone, though. When Zoe’s former roommate Paris shows up out of the blue, Zoe couldn’t be happier. She needs a sounding board, and Paris was the best one she ever had. Things don’t go as planned, and when Zoe’s parents go missing, Paris’ ties to evil run deep. Aric will always stand by Zoe, and he has a certain proposal in mind. He can’t ensure forever until they handle today – and to do that, Zoe, Aric and Paris have to embark on a rescue mission. Zoe thought her days as a coveted mage were over. To save the day, though, she has to embrace the magic she’s been trying to suppress. Everyone wants a piece of Zoe – including the only man she’s ever loved. A new fight is upon her, and if she wants to be declared the winner, Zoe has to acknowledge that she can’t forget the past if she wants to embrace the future. Zoe knows things are going to come to a bloody end. She just doesn’t know whose blood will ultimately be spilled.

Zoe Lake is engaged – even she can’t believe it. Aric Winters, the man of her dreams, has slipped a ring on her finger and asked her to pledge her future to him. She’s ready – kind of. When death and destruction explode – literally – Zoe has a decision to make. Old enemies die hard, and it seems the path to happily ever after winds through Covenant College. Zoe swore she’d never return to the campus that shaped her, but if she wants tomorrow, she has to put yesterday to rest. The trip back to Covenant College is fraught with memories – and danger. Old faces may mean trouble, but they could also offer salvation. Can Zoe destroy the enemies that threaten her future and still embrace the friends of the past? Is Covenant College her beginning, her middle, or her end?

Is happily ever after finally here? The wedding is coming! The wedding is coming! Zoe Lake and Aric Winters are ready to say “I do.” They’ve fought sphinxes, witches, and monster hunters – and all they want now is peace. Unfortunately, that’s not so easy to find. When the wedding planners – and warring mothers – descend on their happy home, Aric and Zoe are plunged into a world they never expected. Zoe doesn’t desire a white dress, and she certainly doesn’t want a champagne fountain, but her wishes are pushed aside to make way for the people who want to make a showcase out of her special day. Nothing is simple in Zoe and Aric’s world, and that includes the new threat – which looks very much like an old one. The most powerful mage in the Midwest is a coveted commodity. Everyone wants her power, but only one man wants her love. Aric and Zoe aren’t afraid of a fight, but the one pressing down on them is something they never expected. Can Zoe wage a war without giving up the only thing she’s ever truly wanted? Can one happy couple put old demons to rest and walk down an aisle littered with past mistakes and regret? And, more importantly, can destiny really exert a powerful hand and let happily ever after be a reality? It’s time for Zoe and Aric to make the ultimate pledge – no matter what evil force opts to stand in their way.
