This is a gothic, dark-academia, paranormal romance and includes elements that may be triggering to some listeners. The Coven is book one in the Coven of Bones series and ends on a cliffhanger. And the witches can’t really kill them without, essentially, unaliving themselves. The Vessels feed on blood but only witch blood can really sustain them. The Vessels and witches have a sort of tense relationship. If the ghosts of Hollow’s Groves’ victims don’t kill them first. A school which has only just reopened its doors to the outside world after a massacre that happened 50 years ago. Because for the first time in fifty years, the Coven will open its wards to the Thirteen: thirteen promising students destined to change the world. No one talks about the bloody massacre that forced it to close decades prior, only the opportunity it can afford to those fortunate enough to attend. But that doesn’t mean secrets don’t threaten to tear the school in two. The only animosity I face comes from the beautiful and infuriating Headmaster, Alaric Grayson Thorne, a man who despises me just as much as I loathe him and everything he stands for. No condemnation for the blood that flows through my veins. My duty forces me to the secret town of Crystal Hollow and the prestigious Hollow’s Grove University-where the best and brightest of my kind learn to practice their magic free from human judgment.
Raised to be my father’s weapon against the Coven that took away his sister and his birthright, I would do anything to protect my younger brother from suffering the same fate. Southern Gothic is an artistic subgenre of fiction, country music, film and television that are heavily influenced by Gothic elements and the American South.
