Each week, Elliott attends a support group for sexual assault victims-but Elliott's done talking. She wants justice. Her plan: recruit a coven of fellow survivors from the group. She, Madeline, Chloe, and Bea don't have much in common, but they're united by rage at a system that judges victims and never punishes those who deserve it. As they cast hexes against their unrepentant assailants, they find themselves coming together in unexpected ways-and realizing that revenge has heavy implications. Each witch has a choice: continue the path of magical vigilantism or discover what it truly means to claim her power.
Those who would suppress and destroy you stand not a chance when confronted with the power that lies within these pages...
Elliott D'Angelo-Brandt is sick and tired of putting up with it all. Every week, she attends a support group for teen victims of sexual assault, but all they do is talk. Elliott's done with talking. What she wants is justice. And she has a plan for getting it: a spell book that she found in her late mom's belongings that actually works. Elliott recruits a coven of fellow survivors from the group. She, Madeline, Chloe, and Bea don't have much in common, but they are united in their rage at a system that heaps judgments on victims and never seems to punish those who deserve it.
As they each take a turn casting a hex against their unrepentant assailants, the girls find themselves leaning on each other in ways they never expected - and realising that revenge has heavy implications. Each member of the coven will have to make a choice: continue down the path of magical vigilantism or discover what it truly means to claim their power.
