On an ordinary Monday morning, eighteen-year-old Mikaela Broussard receives the shock of her life. During a customer's tarot reading at her family's occult shop, she turns over the Death card and envisions the beautiful stranger stabbing her in the heart.

In order to determine why the girl, Joelle, wants to kill her, she'll have to keep her close. But the more time Mikaela spends with her soon-to-be murderer, the more irresistible she finds her.

As if imminent death isn't worrisome enough, witches are turning up with their magic stolen. And it's clear some very dark magic is at work. Mikaela, as the next Witch Queen of her coven, is tasked with figuring out who's behind the horrific acts--a mystery that will put her and her power to the test.

A charming young adult romance featuring all-new characters (plus cameos!), a magnetic attraction, a mysterious artifact, and the fearsome First Order from New York Times bestseller, Ashley Poston.

When eighteen-year-old Ardent Quay saves the life of a fast-talking Wild Spacer on Coruscant, she doesn't expect a thank you--and she certainly doesn't expect him to stowaway on her father's star tour ship. Yet here he is, taking up residence in the ship's pantry and eating all her favorite snacks. He's mysterious and coy and strange, with silver hair and eyes speckled with stars, and no matter how much she tries to pull away, she can't. She should report him to her father, but the stowaway soon convinces her that there's a nefarious plot at play on this ship, one that has the lives of everyone onboard at stake. With the galaxy on the brink of war and the First Order breathing down their necks, Ardent and her stowaway must ferry a precious artifact to its homeworld without getting caught--or worse, killed.

This is, actually, a terrible time to take a tour of the galaxy. And an even worse time to fall in love.
