A Cold Day in Spell

You can't outrun your past—or the goddess living inside you.

Lexi Balefire thought wielding the Bow of Destiny would finally give her control over her fate. Instead, it's unraveling everything she's fought to build. Her goddess half—platinum-haired, razor-tongued Alexis—has slipped the magical leash, commandeering not just her powers and wardrobe choices, but possibly her very essence. What began as a strategic temporary surrender has morphed into a full-blown supernatural identity crisis, leaving Lexi questioning whether she's still in the driver's seat... or just along for the ride.

As an unnatural, bone-deep cold grips Port Harbor like a vengeful winter spirit, Lexi's problems multiply faster than curses in a broken mirror. Her faerie godmothers are meddling in ways even they can't explain. Her estranged mother, Sylvana, weaves secrets tighter than the intricate patterns in her designer shawls. And Diana Diamond—rival witch and self-appointed Queen of Hearts—deals herself deeper into Lexi's life with every shuffled card, her true intentions hidden beneath layers of enchantment and carefully orchestrated moves.

To top it off, the Bow of Destiny has developed an unsettling habit of whispering temptations that grow more irresistible by the hour, promising power at prices Lexi isn't sure she can afford. Meanwhile, Kin Clark—the man who once convinced her that even a Balefire witch deserved happily-ever-after—maintains a heartbreaking distance, leaving Lexi to battle both romantic devastation and divine possession without her anchor. With each passing day, the boundary between witch and goddess blurs further, and the more desperately Lexi struggles to reclaim her identity, the more volatile and unpredictable her magic becomes.

With Diana's shadow looming larger, Sylvana's mysterious endgame approaching its climax, and the dark legacy of the Balefire name eclipsing every step toward freedom, Lexi races against a relentlessly ticking magical clock. If she doesn't find a way to unite her fractured self, the goddess she's becoming might destroy the witch she used to be—and take everything she loves down with her.

Because the line between wielding power and being consumed by it is thinner than Lexi ever imagined.
