Description

When a college thesis uncovers a deadly plot, can a young witch with a code against meddling survive a cutthroat enterprise? Last year of college already drains enough of spellcaster Sophie Morris’s time. But she stumbles across an underhanded corporate conspiracy to destroy a rival, she dives in to dig up the clues needed to expose the truth. And as soon as the corrupt conglomerate gets wind of her interest, Sophie becomes the target of their under the table heavies. Unwilling to violate witch custom with irresponsible magic use, she struggles to protect them both. And as the noose tightens, she’s trapped between doing what is right and betraying centuries of magical tradition. Can Sophie stop the madness without losing her life… or her soul? Trigger warnings: Discussion of rape, suicide. Depiction of self-harm.
