From Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl comes a richly atmospheric Southern gothic fantasy—where magic, fate, and forbidden love intertwine.

Ethan Wate has spent his whole life in the small town of Gatlin, dreaming of escape.

Then Lena Duchannes arrives.

Mysterious, powerful, and hiding a dangerous secret, Lena is unlike anyone Ethan has ever met. As he’s drawn to her, he discovers a hidden world of Casters—beings with magical abilities—and a curse that threatens to decide Lena’s fate on her sixteenth birthday.

In Gatlin, nothing stays hidden for long.

As dark forces begin to close in, Ethan and Lena must confront the truth about her powers, her family, and the destiny she may not be able to escape.

Atmospheric, romantic, and filled with magic, this novel blends Southern charm with supernatural tension.
