The Violet Between The Stars

✦ THE WITCH & THE GOD ✦

For nineteen years, Mavis has been taught one thing:

Her magic is dangerous.

As an Earth and Blood Witch, Mavis possesses a power that should not exist. She can manipulate the earth, control blood, bend reality, and create illusions so powerful that her enemies can experience their own deaths. Her parents keep her hands covered in black gloves to remind her-and everyone else-that she cannot always control what lives beneath her skin.

All Mavis has ever wanted is freedom.

Syris has spent his entire life learning how to control everything.

As the God of the Stars, he can bend gravity, manipulate space, create a realm where time stands still, and lock anything-objects, voices, even memories-into place.

But there is one thing even a god cannot control.

**Death.**

When villages belonging to both witches and gods begin mysteriously disappearing and stars begin vanishing from the night sky, the two ancient enemies are forced into an alliance.

And the two chosen to save them?

Mavis.

And Syris.

They couldn't be more different.

She is reckless, emotional, stubborn, and desperate to escape the life everyone has chosen for her.

He is cold, arrogant, calculating, and convinced emotions are nothing more than distractions.

They don't trust each other.

They don't even like each other.

But something has chosen them.

And neither of them knows that their lives have been connected since the night Mavis was born-a night when Syris's father, Orion, broke divine law to save a dying child.

Before his death, Orion gave Syris one final command:

**"Find Mavis."**

Now the stars are dying.

Something ancient is searching for her.

And Mavis may be the only person capable of saving Syris...

or killing him.

Because sometimes the person you're destined to destroy...

is the same person you were never supposed to love.
