Before she was a coven leader, she was just a girl looking for her place in the world. Then, the darkness came calling. I was raised to be the next coven leader. Regardless of what I wanted for myself. On the day of my graduation, and the famous Litha celebration, an evil curse shatters my town's peaceful existence. With the rest of the council unavailable, it's up to me and my new friends to stop the magic from destroying everything. Among those friends is the charming Isaac, the next Watcher for the Hawthorne coven and Jefferson, the Alpha to be, and the first shifter I have ever met in person. Witches and shifters are not known to work together or become friends. And they're definitely not meant to fall in love. I may not want to be, but I am the chosen witch, and the leader the town of Hawthorne needs. If I can save them all in time. Discover how it all began in the magical town of Hawthorne in this exclusive novella by the USA Today best selling author, Valia Lind!
