If there's one thing Mara knows, it's to avoid the woman in the woods. But when her mother takes ill, she trades her freedom for a cure and finds herself whisked away to Hollow Hill, a school for girls where she learns etiquette, manners . . . and magic.
Born with a dark gift herself, Mara has always shrugged away from the word witch. But even among them, Mara is strange, bending towards cursed magic -- the kind of magic that witches burn for.
When a freak accident lands her in the care of a young doctor, Isaac Lawrence, Mara finds herself falling for him, only to discover that his past comes with a dangerous purpose. Isaac is descended from a long line of firebrands -- witch hunters -- and his own gifts might threaten Mara and the other Sisters at Hollow Hill. As Mara enters this dangerous world of magic, she must decide which side she belongs to and if love truly conquers all.
