Book Description
"The Witchery is a dark, delicious delight. S. Isabelle is a debut to watch." -- Justina Ireland, New York Times bestselling author of Dread Nation The Haunting Season is here and the Wolves are awake. Haelsford, Florida, is a hellmouth. Or at least, that's what Logan, a new witch struggling to control her powers, thinks when she arrives at Mesmortes Coven Academy. She is immediately taken under the wing of the infamous Red Three: Iris, a deathwitch, who wants nothing more than to break the town's curse; Thalia, the talented greenwitch, on the run from her religious family and a past that still haunts her; and Jailah, one of the most extraordinary witches at the academy whose thirst for power may lead her down a dark path. With the Haunting Season approaching, Wolves will soon rise from the Swamp to kill, and the humans and witches must work together to survive the yearly onslaught. However, the history between humans and witches is long and bloodied, with the current truce hard-won and hanging in the balance. And this year, the stakes couldn't be higher as two boys from Hammersmitt School prepare to make their first sacrifices to the witches in exchange for protection. But when students start turning up dead, Iris, Thalia, Jailah, and Logan realize they'll have to harness their powers and stop the Wolves themselves. Yet old dangers lie in wait, and the cost to break the curse may be greater than any witch or human could ever know...

Isabella Hush Omnibus: an urban fantasy action adventure box set collection
Author: Thea Atkinson
Publisher: Thea Atkinson
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 1596
Book Description
Read the entire Isabella Hush series for a terrific price. A fast-paced action adventure journey through a world of magic and intrigue, where the urban fantasy story is filled with slow-burn romance by urban fantasy author, Thea Atkinson. What you'll find inside: BOOK 1: Rune Thief: She just picked the wrong pocket. Now, she's on the bad side of a dark sorcerer. Isabella just botched the heist that was supposed to be her Hail Mary chance to escape the clutches of her gangster ex and his thugs. Stranded in a dark alley behind a seedy bar, she finds a stranger dying at her feet. She doesn't know he's a dark sorcerer. Or that the rune she pinched from his pocket has powerful, coveted magic. Now, marked by the sorcerer and hunted by a fae assassin, Isabella is thrown into a secret supernatural underworld, where all the creatures of her nightmares are real. Ripped from her normal life and tossed into a realm known as the Shadow Bazaar where an arrogant immortal man reigns supreme, she'll need all her wit and skill just to survive. Because the sorcerer she crossed and the fae hunting her are far worse than the violent ex she's running from. And they want more than just to get the rune back… BOOK 2: Bone Hunter: Isabella unwittingly asked for a favor from a dark fae master, and now he's calling in the chips. If she refuses to repay the debt, she'll lose the only thing standing between her and a violent ex out for her head. If she agrees, she'll have to face a seethe of blood-thirsty vampires. BOOK 3: Stone Goddess: The stink of brimstone still clings to Isabella's skin after her escape from Hell. Fortunately, she brought an enchanted stone back that can wrestle her out from beneath Scottie's thumb. She'll just have to barter with a few dangerous immortals. Bonus: Holiday Magic: The holidays should be fun, not deadly. When Maddox lures Isabella out of the house on Christmas Eve with the promise of a job, she doesn't realize it will be at a Christmas party, and that the festivities are in the Shadow Bazaar. A place she told herself she would never visit again. She finds herself in the middle of a group of Kindred on the cusp of their most sacred and savage time of year. It's not a place for mortals. In fact, it's downright dangerous. Soul Merchant: Isabella continues to find new and horrifying things to fear in the seedy underbelly of the otherworld. Her new job of reclaiming magical artifacts seems harmless enough until she realizes those relics she's meant to procure all have a supernatural origin. Some of them are flat out frightening. Cursed Alchemist: As Isabella tries to help Maddox out of a dark funk, she falls into the clutches of an infamous vampire with a vendetta. One bound in blood and death, and more than a little pain.
