Description:
They called it a blood oath. Jo called it a trap.
Josephine Locket spent twenty-two years training for this moment-the ritual that would make her a full member of her grandmother's ancient coven. All she has to do is cut her palm, speak the vow of absolute obedience, and bind herself forever.
Instead, she walks away.
Excommunication comes swift and brutal. Protection stripped. Ties severed. Her only inheritance: a mysterious property in Mt. Shasta that powerful covens want destroyed and a legacy her family died protecting.
Jo discovers her mother's death wasn't an accident. Her aunt's disappearance wasn't coincidence. Someone orchestrated it all, and that same enemy now sets their sights on her.
Armed with illusion magic, her cat familiar, and a dangerous plan to build an academy for outcast witches, Jo faces forces that have crushed everyone who defied them.
Can she break the cycle of silence and survive, or will she become another family mystery buried in lies? Pick up this spellbinding tale where defiance means power.
