Sterling's rich, magical world dazzles readers with its fantastic intricacies. -Richelle Mead, #1 international bestselling author of Vampire Academy and The Glittering Court series

Hannah's a witch, but not the kind you're thinking of. She's the real deal, an Elemental with the power to control fire, earth, water, and air. But even though she lives in Salem, Massachusetts, her magic is a secret she has to keep to herself. If she's ever caught using it in front of a Reg (non-witch), she could lose it. For good.

So, Hannah spends most of her time avoiding her ex-girlfriend (and fellow Elemental Witch) Veronica, hanging out with her best friend, and working at the Fly by Night Cauldron selling candles and crystals to tourists, goths, and local Wiccans.

But when a terrifying blood ritual interrupts the end-of-school-year bonfire and evidence of dark magic begins to appear all over Salem, Hannah's sure it's the work of a deadly Blood Witch. However, her coven seems less than convinced, forcing Hannah to team up with the last person she wants to see—Veronica. With everything she loves on the line, Hannah will have to test the limits of her power if she's going to save her coven.

"Infused with page-turning suspense, bittersweet romance, shocking twists, and tragic turns, Sterling has written a standout debut." -Dana Mele, author of People Like Us
