How can you trust anyone when you've been lied to by everyone? Rowan Ever since my best friend's brother was murdered by a vampire, all I’ve wanted is to be a Warden — the police force of the Coven. The only thing left to do is coach another witch through her Trials so she can prove her loyalty and join the Coven. Sounds easy, right?

Now this guy is here trying to convince me I’m a witch. I don’t want to believe him, but how else do you explain all the weird things I can do now? He wants me to complete these Trials to join his Coven, but the thought of tracking down three supernatural criminals and turning them in to be sacrificed is not exactly my idea of a good time, especially not when my best friend turns out to be a faerie.
