“Maeve crossed the hall between them with confidence. In three short steps, she stood before his throne. A decaying skull broach appeared on Malachite’s breast pocket. The final piece of his Dread Mark. She and Abraxas were the mouth and the sword. He was Death incarnate.”

Maeve Sinclair is the only witch with the ability to jump through minds. She and her magical world live in hiding on Earth, desperately waiting for the rise of the prophesied Dread Descendant. While praying for this Prince of Darkness to return them to their ancient home realm, the humans wage wars that threaten magic’s very existence on Earth. When an unlikely friendship with Malachite Peur blossoms at the most prestigious magical academy in the world, both of their fates change.
