WHAT IF YOU WERE THE ONLY ONE WHO COULD SPARE THE SOULS OF THOSE HANGED FOR WITCHCRAFT IN 1692, BUT YOU HAD TO BARGAIN YOUR OWN SOUL TO DO IT? First in a new fantasy romance series, this paranormal young adult novel introduces teens November Atwood and her twin cousins--athletic Jeff and wheelchair-bound Hawk. On their way home from school, the trio discover an ancient box buried in the shadows of the abandoned Danvers Asylum for the Insane. This sets in motion the final elements of a blood bargain signed more than 300 years ago when Salem, Massachusetts was a sleepy village--and witchcraft was a hanging offense. Cryptic clues and a curious gold coin prompt the trio to venture into the tunnels beneath the asylum where Jeff is struck by "elf-shot," then abducted and replaced by a changeling. To rescue him, the two remaining cousins must journey deeper into the tunnels, to The Room of Rings, a giant portal into the past, whose keeper tells November she is "...the one they have awaited for 300 years"--she is "The Prediction." Together, November and Hawk enter the Rings and are transported back to Salem Village in the year 1701. There, November will meet the minister's son, Thomas Parris, and discover a love that can transcend time. But first, The Prediction must wager her soul to bring about an end to THE BARGAIN OF WITCHES.

Mem’s cousin Linda is extraordinary and a grand storyteller. Every story comes alive and Mem soon learns a lesson in friendship and how things are not always what they appear to be. Hare remembered when the fairy house circus first came to the fields near their home, all those years ago. He remembered the first time the magician walked out of the fairy house door and immediately grew into a giant human. He remembered how the magician sweet-talked him into working with him, and how Hare would be very well paid with carrots, lettuce, and cabbage, and would live in style with his own servant to feed and care for him. He remembered the magician played on Hares ego telling him audiences all over the world who would love him. Hare remembered also how Badger warned him to be wary of sweet-talking humans. Especially those who promise you quick and easy wealth and comfort, those quick-rick schemers.

When office worker, Matt Storm, meets the gorgeous Tom Sheppard, love turns his world upside-down. Before he knows it, Matt has quit his dead-end position at his sales company, opened a toy shop and rented a flat to share with the new love of his life. No more living with his parents, no more sharing a bathroom with his sister and no more nights spent in a lonely bed. Sure, Tom can be a bit grumpy sometimes, but he definitely cares about Matt more than anyone else in the world. The first night after they move in together, Tom hits Matt. Over the coming days, the facade of Matt’s perfect boyfriend falls away a little more with every insult, blow and swear word. The biggest slap of all comes when Matt finds secret messages hidden on Tom’s phone, which reveal that Tom is cheating on him. Matt is sure things will get better, but every day only brings more heartache and pain in the form of violence, betrayal, sexual abuse and deceit from the man Matt fell in love with. With his perfect life crumbling to pieces around him, Matt must face two choices which seem equally devastating: losing Tom, or losing himself.
