Desdemona Nightingale is on the run.
She's running from the label of a curse branded upon her the moment she was born. She's running from the oppressive rule of her mother, High Priestess of the most influential coven in America. She's running from the vampire who took her captive for months. She's running from the newly awakened darkness inside her, a death sentence hanging heavy over her head just waiting to drop when the secret slips out.
She runs straight into Sixten Fahlström, a witchborn vampire hybrid and self-defense instructor at Salem University for Witches. Returning to Salem with him brings about a whole host of difficulties; a possessive werewolf ex-boyfriend, a nasty roommate, and the constant judgement of those meant to be her sisters. Add to that the vampire captor hounding her every step, and Desdemona just wants to start running again.
As the darkness inside her grows stronger, the only thing between Desdemona and a pyre is the tenuous grasp of her self control. Only one question remains; will she be lost to the darkness, to a pyre, or to the rule of a monster?

Captured By A Demon
I finally escaped the factory, they kidnapped me from my college. Today is my birthday, and I had planned for it but nothing helped, only calming me down for the moment. A scream echoed out in the silent starry sky, my body freezing... They were looking for me, I just knew it. Again, I ran and jumping over the fence to the property, muscles burning, my breathing short. I look behind me, not seeing the light of the school anymore. I slow down, holding my breath again. Looking around, only trees and bugs surround me. I slowly sank to my knees, gripping the grass in between my fingers, to keep my breathing calm. Tears springing to my eyes and brushing the tears away, slowly getting back to normal. Suddenly, I felt someone behind me. I could feel its strength and power surround me, turning around to see a dark figure behind me. Glowing blue eyes stared at me, seeing it slowly walk toward me. My breathing becoming short again, a panic attack was on the verge. A hand was now on my shoulder and another on my cold cheek, making me look into his eyes, "Let me help you..." He whispered. Rubbing his thumb against my cheek, I slowly nod my head, when a pain began to form in my chest. I knew it was coming. I quickly get away, crawling a couple feet away. "Get away!" I yelled. My skin turning white and the pain erupting inside of me, feeling it try to escape, and I know if I let it. It will hurt this man. Suddenly, he was there in my view. Blue eyes staring at me, and then his lips were on my own. Gasping as I felt the pain beginning to disappear from inside me. Eyes drooping and my body relaxing against his. Soon, the kiss ended and I was empty. My eyes closing. "Don't worry, I will keep you safe..."Complete

Shelby King is tired of living in her sister's shadow. Shelby's a scribe, like her mom, and everyone expects her to write spells for her sister, the way her mom always has for her dad. But Shelby's spells fail spectacularly, and by the time she's a sophomore, Christina won't touch them with a ten-foot-pole; their parents aren't much better. Shelby is fed up, and she decides to show the world she doesn't care if she isn't as good as her stuck-up sister, or as talented as their powerful parents. In fact, she decides it's time to break all the rules, magical and otherwise, and she starts sneaking out to meet Jeremiah Smallwood, the second-best caster in school at illegal pop-up spell battles around town.
