That is until her growing feelings for the mysterious Lord of the house begin to present an even greater risk. ***** The Everard's are one of the most esteemed families in Wickhurst.

But little does he know that he is about to meet his match in Agatha Blair, his sisters' new governess.

Select
Gray has trained for over a decade to enter the rank of Select, an elite group that serves the realm's six courts. But first, she must impress court rulers during the Selection, where each court hosts dangerous tasks to test the Select. Gray is confident she'll be the top choice due to her rare fog magic and unyielding ambition until she fails to prevent the death of a lord during an attack. With the chance to prove herself worthy of a coveted position in the balance, she must persuade his only surviving son, Trystan, to support her in continuing in the Selection or risk dismissal. As the new lord, annoyingly handsome and stubborn Trystan is still a target with no allies, and he doesn't trust anyone, much less the woman he blames for his father's death. Desperate not to lose her chance at the future she knows she's worthy of, Gray shares a secret that could lead to her exploitation: she can access minds. She swears to use her magic to identify threats for Lord Trystan while he repairs the relationship between his court and others. Allied, they maneuver through the Selection, careful to keep a wall between duty and distractions, but secrets are being kept from them. Guards with haunted memories, brutal attacks along the borders, and people going missing in every court begin to stack up. All mention the same thing: an unnatural bright light- the same one Gray saw before Trystan's father died. Suddenly there isn't a clear definition of who the heroes or villains are. All Gray knows is that one side is offering her a title far grander than 'Select', but it will cost her everyone she cares about -- including the new lord she's beginning to fall for.Complete
