Series: Coven of Bones

The Plated Prisoner series meets The Vampire Diaries in the second installment of this steamy, dark academia fantasy romance duet.

\""There is no end for you and I, Witchling.\""

For hundreds of years, the Coven has presided over Hollow's Grove University, their skeletal fingers grasping for control over the witches who pass through the gates.

Now, after a bloody and violent coup, Willow Madizza must come to terms with the role she was forced to play in the Coven's demise.

And face the demons she has unwittingly unleashed upon the world.

Preparing to fight for the future of the Coven, Willow has no choice but to ally with Gray, the man who betrayed her and her fellow witches. Even through her fury at the bargain that binds her to Gray, Willow can't ignore the soul-deep connection between them. And together, their magic could have the power to right centuries of wrongs . . .

Harper L. Woods is the USA Today bestselling fantasy romance alter ego for Adelaide Forrest. Raised in small-town Vermont, her passion for reading was born during long winters spent with her face buried between the pages of a book. She began to pass the time by writing short stories that quickly turned into full-length fiction. Since that time, she has published over 15 books and has plans for many more. When she isn't writing, Harper can be found spending time with her two young kids, curled up with her dog, dreaming about travel to distant lands, or designing book covers she'll never have enough time to use.
