Afflicted

For the Trimarked girl, hope was always a risk.

It's been five weeks since Nicu saved Ember from the Veil, but her powers have only grown, becoming harder to ignore. Where she once accidentally manipulated the magical barrier around Trifecta, she now wields control, her secrets kept only by Nicu's tenuous loyalty. Her powers, if exposed, could bring wrath from humans, Witches, and Fae alike.

But the arrival of a ruthless Witch Queen forces Ember to risk everything. This Queen seeks control over magic users' minds and bodies, and Ember's powers may be the only defense her few friends have left. Ember's choice to protect them could expose her to those who fear her most-and even Nicu's promises may not be enough to shield her this time.

Will Ember embrace her strength to defy the Queen, or lose everything to keep her powers hidden?
