In a solemn Kingdom, girls in frilled white dresses shiver as they march past gardens haunted by disquietude; trapped within a blithe choir, they dare not break its cadence. Kassandra Agatha attends an academy of witches and warlocks who must adhere to such strict, painful routines of repentance and rituals. Instead of punishing criminals, the Kingdom disciplines its victims, who fearfully know that whenever they do not comply, horrific events carried out by an Unspeakable Curse befall their home. Kassandra never knew her mother Arabella, but upon a chance encounter with a mysterious boy, it is revealed to the witch that she was a sacred figure revered by a forbidden faith. Forced against her will to act as a living shield for warlock soldiers, Arabella ran away from the academy, and in her sleep, fell into a nightmare. Upon awakening, the lost girl felt a sinister aura harbored within. She had discovered the Cardinal Mother, a deity who was worshipped by a dark cult that granted its acolytes the means to enact revenge, yet reveled in inflicting death and pain... even to those who did not deserve it. Arabella became devoted to using the Cardinal Mother's gifts to judge the sins of others as fairly as she could, believing that it was her destiny to persuade the Kingdom to relinquish their practice of sacrificing innocents, for she had foreseen another way to stop the Unspeakable. But as Kassandra delves deeper into the past, she begins to unravel the truth of what really happened to her mother on the night of her disappearance...

"THE AFTERLIFE CAN BE A REAL BITCH, RIGHT?" "Henri-" I began, but Henri's hand snatched up mine and squeezed tightly enough to break bones. I bit my tongue to hold back a cry. It was a warning. "Maria didn't say anything about a couple of vampires wanting to meet with her," the green-haired warlock spoke after the area had stilled with electrified silence. I looked Henri's way, and that's really when our situation caught up with me. Wait... "Maria..." I murmured in remembrance, then sent Henri a glare. "Why are we here to see Maria Day? If you don't remember, let me remind you that I killed her friend. Hell, her master. She'll kill me when she sees me." Henri had the nerve to laugh softly. "You're already dead, Antoinette." "Thanks to you. There are other ways witches can hurt vampires, aren't there?" My eyes traveled shortly to the warlocks, Daniel and Zachary, and I shook my head. "She'll burn me alive! I'm not going in there." "You're overacting," Henri said with a dramatic eye roll with a worth of a slap across his face. Lucky for him, I kept my hands at my sides. This night was about to get dangerous... This is Book 3 of The Hunters Saga! 1st draft, so there WILL be mistakes!
