Forced to serve the city that hates her, she's paired with an ex-god who thinks teamwork is a bad joke.
Two years after fleeing Atlantis as a disgraced cult member, Emery Morgan is back — and immediately caught.
The deal on the table is simple: recover one of Atlantis's stolen magical crown jewels, or face permanent banishment. The catch? She has to do it alongside Loki, a sharp-tongued, power-dampened ex-god with a talent for chaos and an unfortunate habit of ending up in the company of would-be heroes.
Winter has come to the magical town of Twinkleford, and something terribly strange is happening.
Jade Rhinestone has passed the tests to become an official witch. She's pleased, but confused. Her first ritual doesn't exactly give her confidence that being a part of a coven is very useful. Her feelings on the matter are only made clearer when her friend Kelly's brother goes missing. In a desperate search to find him before it's too late, Jade will discover a number of important things. Vampire undertakers’ houses are creepy, there are many varieties of owls in Twinkleford, and she rather likes snooping. Oh, and she's head over heels for a half mermaid.
No, it isn't the beautiful snow crystals that glide from the sky. It isn't that the evil Vixens are . . . evil, or that the magical town filled with wonder is . . . wonderful.
Bethel Rhinestone has decided to go on a trip! By herself!
Like, she can travel alone and stuff.
Lowe and Jade will be home alone. Like any fun cousins, they decide to throw a party.
Then everything goes horribly wrong.
The investigation leads straight into the heart of a secretive magical order — and straight back into the kind of darkness Emery thought she'd left behind. Someone is hunting the Order's members. Something is wearing their faces. And the closer she gets to the truth, the more she starts to wonder if Atlantis's real enemy has been hiding in plain sight all along.
Armed with magic-nullifying daggers and a partner she's not sure she can trust, Emery has one shot to prove she's more than what this city already believes her to be.
Malicious Magic launches the Atlantis Outcasts series with sharp banter, slow-burn trust, and a mystery that cuts bone-deep in a desert city where old loyalties can get you killed.
Please note: This book includes instances of violence (non-gratuitous), explicit language, and occasional references of a sexual nature. This series centers on a slow-burn trust and friendship between the leads, with other romantic threads developing elsewhere in the series.
