" Kiss someone who makes you feel their magic in your bones, who makes you wonder how can someone who looks like witchcraft at midnight can taste so holy "

— Nikita Gill

IT ALL STARTS WITH A TAROT CARD.

  Three of Swords; it tears her apart, an animalistic grief growing carnivorous and hungry for the heart beating in her chest. She cries over the Tower, or because the Devil's grinning face provokes discord in her Celtic Cross reading. Her amethyst pendulum never ceases to swing in the most dreaded directions and all of the tea leaves foreseeing her inevitable downfall are beginning to make her feel ill. Every dream morphs into an amalgamation of pure night terrors and the thing that a girl fears most when it comes to divination: her own gruesome death, outlined in the foggy haze of her subconscious. When death begins to spring up dark omens before Mallory Scarrow's eyes, her doom is evident everywhere she turns.

However, she's fortunate enough to have her coven to hold her up when she spirals into mania — Althea, Ceridwen, Nina: sisters in everything but blood. ( They'll be the ones to pour dirt over her coffin when the time comes ). The four of them are pariahs, to put it simply, outcast by everyone in their year with only each other to cling to. They're bound together by rituals and laughter, hearts shackled together as one, unable to be eroded by death or the cycle of life. Even in their next lives, they will find each other.

  But every one of Mallory's demons has a face, and her biggest one just so happens to be Nina's dreadful boyfriend: Julius Flint. He's cruel and condescending, poised on towering pillars of fragile masculinity and piles of old money. Blood drips from his gaping jaws in the form of glistening rubies — he weeps diamonds and his eyes glisten with jade envy, undeserving of the many riches poised at his fingertips. Aggression is his love language as he tears into their coven with biting words at every chance he gets, rabid like a hungry wolf. Yet, when good old Julius starts to grow more hostile toward Nina, and mysterious bruises flourish under her sleeves they decide to... sort him out, so to speak.

  In their defence, they didn't mean for him to die on them, not exactly! It started off as a scare tactic, as a cruel warning to protect their sister from his unrelenting tyranny. They hadn't quite expected him to die, but they hadn't expected him to come back to haunt them either. He's a ghost of the cavalier boy he was before, having come back ten thousand times deadlier and ten thousand times more vengeful. With his resurrection causing chaos, malicious omens foretelling Mallory's own demise are springing up like never before, her personal horrors becoming far too real for her liking.

  Oh, everything's going just fine!

  Until a particularly nosy Narcissa Black decides to play detective, that is.
