Under Attack

Syd! I knew that voice, the power behind it. I pulled back just in time, only a heartbeat before I blew Mia's mind into a gazillion fragments.

Help me Syd please help they're taking it and I can't stop them and I don't know what to do please help they're dying—

A single image made it through, from Mia's perspective, a slow tumble to the right as she fell onto polished marble stairs, dark shapes looming over her before she slipped away from me.
With one last whisper.

Please help—

The Dumont coven was under attack.

Syd’s second year at Harvard is over, but her troubles are only just beginning. Liam’s cling-on mother, Sonja, is making it impossible for them to even consider a relationship, and Syd has to confess she wonders if they have a future. But all thoughts of love and romance vanish when the Dumont coven power is stolen, her friend Mia left helpless. Syd’s mother, Council Leader Miriam Hayle, refuses to act outside the law, leaving it up to Syd to hunt down the power thief and return Mia’s family magic.
