Reading the day’s headline doesn’t bode well for Lady Trisha. Learning about an infant’s abduction is more than a devastating story. To her, it’s a heart-pounding, mind-blowing call to action.

She’s certain her old coven is to blame, and time is of the essence. In a day or two, the coven will hold the Amelioration, a ritual that spawns mortals into warrior witches.

To save the child, Trisha whisks herself off to the French château, home to the Warrior Witches of the Fredegund Coven. But her heroics are quickly thwarted. She falls into the clutches of the War God Ares, who places her under a wicked curse. Now with Trisha missing, her cousin, Lady Ewin, has no choice but to venture out to save both the child and Trisha.

Meanwhile, beneath the earthly realm, in the Underworld, the Furies are secretly plotting against Ares. These goddesses seek vengeance for Ares’s role in spawning humans into magical weapons. Though their plan remains hidden, they believe their cause is justified, as all gods deplore Ares’s arrogance in ignoring divine rules. Their godly powers are never meant to be imposed on mortals.

Amid the witches and goddesses combating Ares’s evil, witchy deception erupts, wreaking havoc between the earthly realm and the Underworld. Yet no matter how cunning he may be, Ares will face a surprising consequence.
