I’m Tempest Corentine—twenty-one, single, and already dreading the next twenty-one years. Except one month ago, the impossible happened. I formed a magical bond with someone I’ve never met. The link appeared in my darkest moment, and finding this person is my sole purpose. Two issues: The magus probably lives in The Buried Knolls. The coven there might have murdered my family. My plan? Kiss the hot guy at the bar in case I die tonight. Knock on the coven’s door. See if the council kills me at the next full moon. Foolproof. Whether it’s fake relationships, a supernatural game, or unfathomable matching runes showing up on me and a gorgeous male grimoire, I’ll do whatever it takes to find the person on the other end of this bond. Just try to stop me.

They say lightning doesn’t strike the same place twice. They are damn liars because I’m losing count of the impossibilities in my life. It turns out my presence in The Buried Knolls could mean the death of everyone around me. If the cold reactions of Wild and the quad are anything to go by, then the coven can never discover what I am. Even though I’ve uncovered the demon king’s sinister plans and the truth about the supernatural game this coven plays, I must leave the knolls. Bizarrely, the place I came to for answers has become home. Hope. Community. I nearly fell in love here. Now the mating ritual with Wild feels like another excellent reason to leave. Yet when so many impossible things have already happened, I have to wonder about the size of the storm ahead... and whether lightning will strike for a third time. If you can’t get enough of books by Elise Kova, Raven Kennedy, and Leia Stone, or the paranormal romance genre, then enter this supernatural game where the prize is love, friendship, and survival, and failure means death.

The pendant, gem, dagger, and robe of a dead woman have decided my fate. Now over three hundred magus look to me to save them from the impossibly powerful demon king. It’s safe to say my life took a little turn. But defeating a mere demon army would make life too simple, apparently. The demon king’s magic also permeates the knolls, driving the wedge of discord deep in the coven. So much has changed. So many are uncertain. Suspicion and uncertainty will find their target. The burden of my secret heritage weighs heavy, and yet there’s no option but to shoulder this as I sit on a throne I never wanted. Further upheaval will see everyone around me die. Though if Wild and I can’t figure out why our mating ritual suddenly stopped, we could be dead before the demons even arrive… If you can’t get enough of books by Annette Marie, Laura Thalassa, or C.N. Crawford, or just the paranormal romance genre in general, then dive into this supernatural world where the prize is love, and failure means death.
