Just when I thought I was getting my life under control, this happened.

There’s something different about Blair. While she can’t put her finger on it, the symptoms are telling her that she’s ill. Her skin is fevered, her breaths are shallow, and she’s lost the ability to hold back her growing desire. Okay, so maybe she wasn’t sick, but something was up and the only way to find the answers - outside of bedding every vampire who looked at her with even a little heat - was to go to the one man who seemed to have all the answers about magic.

Continue the fun right away...Witchin’ ain’t easy.Let’s just look at the ever growing list of things Blair has to find: A missing fairy, an enchanted object, a way to bring her men back from the dead, and her mind (no time). And when finals at Endor University finally arrive, Blair’s got to make a choice. What’s more important: Saving her grades or saving the world? To make the decision all more complicated, Blair gets stuck babysitting a pretty little teen witch who isn’t what she seems. Will the new girl in the gang be friend or foe?

All the world's a stage, and Blair is just a player. No, seriously. She is. Blair’s life becomes a show when her friends decide to turn it into a reality competition. It’s lights, camera, action for this college witch. Now, men are fighting each other gladiator-style in order to become one of her mates.

Daywalkers. The term is self-explanatory. Daywalkers are vampires who can sunbathe without turning extra-crispy. Only a few of them exist, powerful men and women who have somehow found a way to break from the curse that was put on their species centuries ago. Why does any of this matter? Beats me. I’ve got my own life to figure out, like an old pregnancy I knew nothing about and the secrets my father is still hiding from me.

I’m Jessica Clark, you’re favorite witch, straight out of the ONP (Order of New Purgatory). Dad likes to call me his ace, especially when I’ve manipulated someone into serving his purpose. Classmates like to call me Xerox - Roxie for short - on a count of my ability to mimic their magic, but I’m getting off track.

Daddy’s home. And he’s got more magic up his sleeve than Blair’s prepared to deal with. Not only is Blair expected to save the world, deal with the father she never knew, and pass her exams, but when a powerful witch dies, Blair is put on the case. She’s become Endor University's very own Sherlock Holmes, but Sherlock isn’t doing anything without Watson - aka, her boyfriends and closest pals. With ferocious dragons and sexy sorcerers popping up all willy nilly, Blair is about to take the magic world - and maybe fashion world - by storm.

Ending a war is complicated. Mix in carrying a baby, escaping assassinations, and living through betrayal, and you have chaos, but not for Lorena Quinn. For a necromancer, it’s just another day. Her life is far from normal and with many lovers to call her own. She’d murdered, buried, and forgotten the need for normalcy long ago. Now, all she wanted to do was survive. But when survival means giving up someone she loves, things get kind of tricky. But Lorena isn’t just a witch anymore. Now she’s the Queen of the Unseelie, and it's time she started acting like it.

If someone asked Blair Quinn who her inspirations were, she’d probably name Audrey Hepburn for her poise, Marilyn Monroe’s style, and her cousin Lorena’s grit and bravery. In her mind, no one is braver than Lorena, and she aims to be just like her. But what she didn’t ask for was all of her cousin’s problems. And when an explosion sets off what could be considered the New Age Order, Blair’s life quickly consists of hiding from assassins, saving her friends, and fighting back the powers of darkness.
