Caya lived a charmed life under the protection of Coventry’s royal family ... until the three witch Houses seized power and wiped them out.
Now eighteen, she’s ready to take revenge. With the help of a mysterious benefactor, Caya slips into the witches' glittering world under a new identity: Marisol Vinyet, a disarmingly beautiful aristocrat. As Marisol, she'll attend the annual Coronet, the witches’ cutthroat social season designed to strengthen their power. Even the prince of neighboring Domingo—Tomás Castellan—will attend, just in time for “Marisol” to kill him.
After all, his family set the witches upon Coventry in the first place.
But Tomás is more charming than Caya anticipated. Worse the prince is protected by her estranged childhood friend, Bas Arroyo, who stirs up frustrating feelings that waver between attraction and hatred.
To destroy the witches from within, Caya will have to keep her identity hidden, her heart in check, and her mission front and center. Because even though she’s made herself a weapon, she might be the one to bleed.
