“The silenced will always find a way to speak. The invisible will always find a way to be seen. Even in times of perilous opposition.”
Ill-Fated: Prophecy of the Trine Book One
A powerful witch. A relentless king. And a desperate deal that risks everything.
It's Aine Balfuinn's first year attending Penumbra Academy of Witchkind, along with her two sisters Olivia and Beatrix, where they’re taught to hone and strengthen their unique magic referred to as a tether. Aine's Astral Projection magic is one of the most powerful tethers known to Witchkind.
But Penumbra is more than an Academy where Witchkind learns about magic. It's also the king's largest recruitment institution for his military. Students at Penumbra are required to take Artistry, where they learn to amplify they're magic. And when King Magnus finds a witch with powerful magic, they’re conscripted to fight in his budding war with the Fae. And the king of Witchkind doesn't take no for an answer.
There's only one problem: Aine and her sisters have highly desired magical tethers that the King would love to get his hands on.
As her hold on her magic begins to slip, she has no choice but to make a deal with the audacious and infuriatingly handsome Osric Kilbrock. By choosing to trust Osric, she risks exposing everything she’s tried so hard to keep secret.
The jaws of the King are closing in. And Aine has to make a choice to trust Osric with not only her secrets, but also her heart
"That is what the mortals and the Fae created in Witchkind.
Through their fear, they labeled us and terrorized our people into near extinction.
And yet, Witchkind persists—some might say we are stronger for it."

Author Paige KD Sanz
Paige KD Sanz found her love for all things paranormal and fantasy early in her childhood with shows like Are You Afraid of the Dark? and Xena Warrior Princess. It was all downhill from there. By teen-hood, she was writing her own version of atrocious vampire lore that would one day be burned over a firepit in shame. It would take take twenty years for Paige to find the courage to publish her next book.
You can often find Paige obsessing over fictional characters or chasing her daughters (who are inevitably chasing their two cats), hiding from the San Diego sun, and dreaming of the cold mists of Scotland.
