Love is a curse when you're a witch.
Nadine
I thought witches were myth-until I moved to a secret town protected by magic. Turns out I'm a witch, and my powers will awaken on my nineteenth birthday.
I'm sent to a magic academy, where I'll learn about the coven and prepare to meet our goddess. It's there that I meet Lucas, a sexy warlock with an attitude. I shouldn't be attracted to a guy like him, but he's a puzzle I can't figure out, and I find that beyond irresistible.
But there's more on my mind than Lucas. If I don't pass the goddess's test to awaken my magic, I'll be banished from the coven-and lose the only family I have left.
Lucas
I wasn't supposed to inherit death magic, but here I am. They call me the Reaper's Apprentice. I'm tasked with carrying the last thoughts of the dead to the afterlife when I die. It's a burden that grows heavier by the day.
Most thoughts are more depressing than I care to admit... except for one. I don't know what it means, until Nadine shows up in town. She's the one ray of hope to an otherwise dark gift, and I quickly find myself falling for her.
But we can't be together-because there's a curse upon all reapers, and if Nadine falls for me, she'll die.
