Ravenna and her coven are starving.
The land is dying, the animals are being killed by demons, and there are no explanations in sight. In her malnourished state, the witch queen's elemental power barely works, and she is captured by the king's army. The king-a human and the son of the man who was responsible for her mother's death-promises sustenance for her and her witches if she helps him stop the demon attacks that are affecting his realm, too.
Caden detests witches, especially the daughter of the one who killed his father. Despite his long-standing hatred, Caden needs Ravenna's elemental power if the humans are going to stand a chance at destroying the demons. If the king can't protect his realm, his advisory council will call for his removal.
The two struggle to set aside their distrust, loathing, and mutual anger at what their parents did to each other, but the demons remain invincible, and now an even bigger threat is slithering up from the underworld.
Fighting for survival, they each try to enlist support from their people to no avail. Torn between duty, retribution, and their budding romance, Ravenna and Caden have a chance to rid the world of demons, but they must figure out how to heal the rift between their people first.
