This is the original, unedited version of Light as a Feather, Book #1. This book was the inspiration for the Hulu Original Series. The revised version is now available in bookstores throughout the USA & Canada from Simon Pulse. McKenna Brady thinks her junior year of high school is going to be the best ever when she's welcomed into the elite group of popular girls at Weeping Willow High School led by blonde, gorgeous Olivia Richmond. Prior to junior year, McKenna was known in her small town as the girl whose twin sister died in a tragic house fire, and she's overjoyed at the prospect of redefining her identity. She has a date to the Homecoming dance with Olivia's handsome older brother, and a good chance of being elected to student council. For the first time since McKenna's parents divorced, things are looking up. But everything changes the night of Olivia's Sweet Sixteen sleepover birthday party. Violet, the shy, mysterious new girl in town, suggests that the girls play a scary game called Light as a Feather, Stiff as a Board, during which Violet makes up elaborate stories about the future ways in which beautiful Olivia, brassy Candace, and athletic Mischa will die. The game unsettles McKenna because she's already escaped death once in her life, but she doesn't want to ruin her friends' fun. It's only a game, she reminds herself.

Tabitha Windart has a price on her head by order of the King himself--the payment for the death of the witch has only grown each year since it first began on her 11th birthday. No one has come even close to claiming this prize. Tabitha allows herself to believe that all will be alright until news reaches her that the King has managed to get his hands on the one thing she cares about. She will do anything to ensure that she gets back what was stolen from her. Dacre Rossford is a bastard. He spent his entire life not knowing who his father was until the day of his mother's death when she finally whispered the name of his dad in his ear. He made the mistake of drunkenly telling another person that he thought was his friend one night after that. He has been on the run ever since. Imagine his surprise when he hears that Tabitha, the only other person that the King wants dead more than him, is on a hunt for him. All bets are off as he flees for his life from two separate yet equally deadly forces--the wicked witch and the King. Warning: This story contains violence, explicit language, and dark themes.
