Publisher's Synopsis
Claudia Matthews turns 18 tomorrow - as long as she can make it through the first day of classes at Oakley High School. It's more than her inherent strangeness that keeps her from fitting in. Her ill-tempered service dog, Luca, isn't winning her friends and her class schedule is even less welcoming, dropping her into the government- mandated, "The History of Witches." They are real; she's been told. They are powerful, and evil - yet Claudia wants to know if that's actually a universal truth. Are all witches really that bad? When a mysterious gift appears, dark secrets are cast into the light, and the world as she knows it may change forever. Now armed with questions, Claudia will need to figure out if it's truly worth finding the truth when textbooks don't hold all the answers. Drawn into a world of hidden covens and regulated magic, she may learn more than she bargained for. Now Claudia has to fight the lure of power and a temptation much more passionate...or lose herself to both. The truth could set her free... or damn her forever.
