Freddie Gellar didn't mean to get half the rival high school arrested. She’d simply heard shrieks coming from the woods, so she’d called the cops like any good human would do. How was she supposed to know it was just kids partying? Except the next day, a body is found. And while the local sheriff might call it suicide, Freddie's instincts tell her otherwise. So, like the aspiring sleuth (and true X-Files aficionado) she is, Freddie sets out to prove there's a murderer at large.

Paths converge and prophecies unfold as Safi and Iseult—the legendary Cahr Awen—fight their way across the Witchlands to heal the final Origin Well. With ancient figures rising from the past, the Raider King’s armies gathering for war, and the magic at the heart of everything dying too fast, the entire world is now on the brink of collapse. But when Safi and Iseult reach the Air Well with the Bloodwitch Aeduan at their side, they discover too late that Eridysi's Lament is not the prophecy they thought it was—and their journeys are only just beginning.

Winnie Wednesday’s future is looking bright. Hemlock Falls is no longer hunting the werewolf, she and Erica Thursday are tentative friends, and Winnie finally knows exactly where she stands with Jay Friday. With everything finally on track, Winnie is looking forward to the Nightmare Masquerade, a week-long celebration of all things Luminary. But as Luminaries from across the world flock to the small town, uninvited guests also arrive. Winnie is confronted by a masked Diana and charged with an impossible task—one that threatens everything and everyone Winnie loves.

Nel magico mondo delle Lande Stregate, nessuno è al riparo dall'oscurità che incombe. Lo Stregone del Sangue Aeduan e la Strega dei Fili Iseult lottano per sopravvivere mentre le armate del Re Predone avanzano nelle Lande seminando morte e terrore tra la popolazione innocente. Aeduan e Iseult hanno mire diverse, ma hanno imparato a fidarsi l'uno dell'altra, consapevoli che le loro vite dipendono dal legame che hanno instaurato. Un legame molto sottile.

Tutti pensano che il principe Merik, lo Stregone del Vento, sia morto nell'esplosione della sua nave. Invece, per quanto malconcio, è vivo, e deciso a dimostrare il tradimento della sorella. Giunge così nella capitale, strabordante di profughi in cerca di rifugio, e inizia ad aggirarsi per le strade, difendendo i deboli. Nasce così la leggenda di un semidio sfigurato, la Furia, che porta giustizia agli oppressi.

Nelle lande stregate ci sono infiniti tipi di magia: tanti quanti i modi per mettersi nei guai, come ben sanno due giovani donne molto speciali. Safiya è una Strega della Verità, ha il dono di riconoscere le menzogne. C'è chi ucciderebbe per avere quel potere, e così lei lo tiene ben nascosto, se non vuole essere usata come una pedina nello scontro tra gli imperi. Iseult invece è una Strega dei Fili: sa vedere i legami invisibili che uniscono le persone attorno a lei, ma non riesce a percepire i sentimenti che la riguardano direttamente.

Iseult has found her heartsister Safi at last, but their reunion is brief. For Iseult to stay alive, she must flee Cartorra while Safi remains. And though Iseult has plans to save her friend, they will require her to summon magic more dangerous than anything she has ever faced before. Meanwhile, the Bloodwitch Aeduan is beset by forces he cannot understand. And Vivia - rightful queen of Nubrevna - finds herself without a crown or home. As villains from legend reawaken across the Witchlands, only the mythical Cahr Awen can stop the gathering war.

Aeduan has teamed up with the Threadwitch Iseult and the magical girl Owl to stop a bloodthirsty horde of raiders preparing to destroy a monastery that holds more than just faith. But to do so, he must confront his own father and his past.

In this follow-up to New York Times best-selling Truthwitch, a shadow man haunts the Nubrevnan streets, leaving corpses in his wake - and then raising those corpses from the dead. Windwitch continues the tale of Merik - cunning privateer, prince, and windwitch.

On a continent ruled by three empires, some are born with a "witchery", a magical skill that sets them apart from others. In the Witchlands, there are almost as many types of magic as there are ways to get in trouble - as two desperate young women know all too well. Safiya is a Truthwitch, able to discern truth from lie. It's a powerful magic that many would kill to have on their side, especially among the nobility to which Safi was born. So Safi must keep her gift hidden, lest she be used as a pawn in the struggle between empires.

Winnie Wednesday has gotten everything she thought she wanted. She passed the deadly hunter trials, her family has been welcomed back into the Luminaries, and overnight, she has become a local celebrity. The Girl Who Jumped. The Girl Who Got Bitten. Unfortunately, it all feels wrong. For one, nobody will believe her about the new nightmare called the Whisperer that's killing hunters each night. Everyone blames the werewolf, even though Winnie is certain the wolf is innocent.

Set a year before Truthwitch, Sightwitch follows Ryber Fortiza, the last Sightwitch Sister as she treks deep underground to rescue her missing best friend. While there, she encounters a young Nubrevnan named Kullen Ikray, who has no memory of who he is or how he wound up inside the mountain. As the two journey every deeper in search of answers, and as they brave one close call after another, a tentative friendship forms between them - one that might one day grow into something more.

Hemlock Falls isn't like other towns. You won't find it on a map, your phone won't work here, and the forest outside town might just kill you. Winnie Wednesday wants nothing more than to join the Luminaries, the ancient order that protects Winnie's town—and the rest of humanity—from the monsters and nightmares that rise in the forest of Hemlock Falls every night. Ever since her father was exposed as a witch and a traitor, Winnie and her family have been shunned. But on her sixteenth birthday, she can take the deadly Luminary hunter trials and prove herself true and loyal.
