The choices they make will be their greatest curse.

Nadine

We’re exiled from our coven and are being hunted by the Imperium Council, but this is far from over. To find the remaining Oaken Wands and release the witches from the wrath of the priestesses, we’ll have to go to hell and back— literally.

But hellfire is the least of our problems. If I’m prepared to do what’s right by the coven, I’ll have to decide if I want to make a deal with our worst enemies… or lose what I hold most dear in this world.

Lucas

The priestesses have taken absolute control of the coven, openly executing anyone who stands against them, and our friends have been caught in the middle of it. All witches have been forced to choose a side, and a decision made by one of our own leads to an outcome they can never take back.

To free ourselves and our coven, I must prove myself to my fellow reapers, and undergo a trial of death to access the height of my abilities. This time, more than our lives are on the line. The future of our coven relies on the future of our family, but our family has already been torn apart, and I don’t know if the sacrifices I have made will put it back together again.

Trigger warning suggestion

I really love these stories. This book hit hard though. I would suggest a trigger warning in the summary or in the beginning of the narration during the chapter about the still birth. As someone who had a full term twin pregnancy with the same outcome as in the book I would have skipped the chapter had I known in advance.
I have really enjoyed listening to the books in the series though.

It's getting better

Okay, this book was good. It didn't have as much injustice as the earlier books.

The Warlock’s Trial (Hidden Legends: College of Witchcraft Book 5)

The Warlock’s Trial (Hidden Legends: College of Witchcraft Book 5) ~~ This book is Lucas at his rawest and most vulnerable. The trials he faces both emotionally and magically have pushed him to the breaking point, and I felt every second of it. Nadine refuses to give up on him, and the strength of their bond shines through everything. Their love stops being forbidden and becomes a weapon.

The danger spikes, the betrayals hit harder, and the suspense had me sitting up straight at 3am. Every page feels like a countdown. The ending set up a final battle that felt impossible ~ and yet full of hope.

I would definitely recommend this book and series and can’t wait to start on the next book. If you want to know what happens next, you’ll just have to read this series yourself ~ you won’t regret it.

Too much SJW BS

The stories are great until they start getting into all the SJW crap. Pretty sure I skipped a lot of the books because of it. Just thankful I don’t have to waste more money on the books.
