A Monarch of Witches

“To be a witch is to know true madness.”

My name is Beatrix Laveau, heir to the most powerful witch kingdom in the world, and I have a secret.

More than one, actually—dozens, hundreds.

They’re my currency, the source of my hard won power—but my own are the ones I guard the closest, because if discovered, they would be my downfall.

So, my father says that this is how it has to be, the path to ensure the crown lands safely on my head, to protect both myself and my people.

But I can’t shake the dread creeping its way up my spine, can’t shake the dreams haunting me every night, the sense that I’m missing something critical as the players in this vicious game close in.

Of course, that might have something to do with the man I’m now betrothed to: the Prince of the Dead. Or maybe it's because his older brother seems to enjoy whispering cryptic nonsense in my ear, or because my bestie is dipping her scandalous toes into two enemy pools. Or maybe, just maybe, it's because the friend who betrayed me has returned.

He told me the night we met that we all have a part to play, but still, the question remains: do I even know the truth of how my part in this story began?
