Malevolent Ignoble Calamity (or Mel for short) is the youngest member of the Calamity Clan--a coven of Bastan witches and warlocks who pride themselves on being the worst of the worst. If Mel wants to survive past her twenty-first birthday, she needs to complete a rite of passage: lure the children Hansel and Gretal into her cottage, cook them, and eat them. There are just a few problems: 1. Mel has no interest in eating children. 2. The children have no interest in leaving their house. 3. The parents of the children have no interest in behaving the way normal parents are supposed to behave. 4. Hansel and Gretal aren't even their real names. Slade Oliver is the Advisor to the Guild of Records and it's not his job to fix fairy tales anymore, but this tale isn't like the others. Powerful bloodlines are involved, and where there is powerful blood, there will be powerful enemies. The stakes are high, but the task is simple: extract the children from their house and send them to the witch in the woods. There is just one single problem: 1. Slade Oliver doesn't play by the rules, and neither will this fairy tale. This is a full, standalone novel, over 90,000 words. It is book two of the Bastan Hollow series but each book CAN be read as a standalone.

"You see, there is safety in simplicity...in a life of simple peace, where the electricity doesn't dance across the backs of my eyelids, and the sparks don't slither over my consciousness. Only asinine peace, where my paintings don't seem to paint themselves, leaving me with terrible feelings of premonition and a chill beneath my fingernails." Seraph Black used to think that she was prepared for anything. She could last days without eating and she always walked away from the violent altercations with her father relatively unharmed. She survived working at the club and the drive to school every day in her mother's rust-bucket of a car...but it all changed when Noah and Cabe came bulldozing into her life, careless of the precious secrets they picked apart in their quest to take over her world. She was even less prepared for the mysterious Miro and Silas, and nothing could have prepared her for the bond. The connection. The reason for it all. Someone wanted her to stay away from her new friends, but she wasn't willing to do that. Everyone had secrets. She wanted to know theirs. They wanted to own hers. And the stalker? He seemed to know everything already.
