With the thirteenth it will begin...
Three centuries ago a Seer spoke of the birth of a witch, her magic an omen of change. It was believed the vision would never come to pass. Soon age-old secrets will reveal how wrong they were. For the thirteenth daughter is about to come into her power...
Emaleth Boswell comes from a long line of powerful witches. And for generations they've been stalked by a prediction uttered from a long-dead Seer. An inescapable burden since before Em was born, but she-like those before her-has learned to live with it.
For twenty-years Em has hidden in a normal life. Ordinary has been her safeguard. She doesn't have time to worry about an old prophecy: she has grad school to consider, a resume to update, and a travel bucket list to complete with her best friend.

Desperate to protect those she loves, Em must embrace the power she's buried her entire life and risk losing herself. The fight for control is just the beginning...
