Unless everything she knows about the afterlife is a lie, she’s about to fade for good. Fortunately, everything she’s been told about the afterlife is a lie.
Karen Jarvis’s overthinking never stops, not even in death. To cope, the former child prodigy clings to the rules: ignore the visions when they intrude, or go crazy; don’t reach out to the living, or they die; tap the forty-two special points in her house in the same order every day, or fade.
But when a voice from the past pushes her to question the know-it-all people-pleasing that left her friendless in life, she launches into a fit of adolescent rebellion long overdue—and discovers she’s been lied to all along.
Piecing together the true extent of the deception, Karen’s off-the-chart IQ leads her to a weakness in her mentor’s ruthless scheme. Unfortunately, exploiting it means trusting in someone with an average at best IQ.
Bad idea.
So when her captor sets her up for an infernal checkmate, Karen faces a terrible choice: let her crippling fear of falling short undercut her one chance to save herself and the only friends she’s ever known, or out-think her tormentor’s every move.

She’s the Minister of Magickal Sciences. She’s also a witch.
How then could a simple disappearance leave her outmatched?
Kate Finch feels like an imposter—even though she’s as well versed in the unseen arts as anyone. Between the secrets she keeps and the unending gossip swirling around her, even she’s beginning to wonder if she’s up for the job.
The chance to prove herself comes when her most vocal critic approaches her with a mystery stranger than any she’s known: a woman both dead and undead; unquiet spirits immune to her witchcraft; signs of a deadly realm of ghosts.
Into this riddle steps a rival Kate never expected: the only other witch in the Colonies.
Can Kate unlock the secret of the dead while staying one step ahead of a sociopathic rival? Will she uncover the unseen hand at work behind the uncanny magic? And can she prove to her detractors—and to herself—she’s worthy of the office she holds?

More and more demons infest the colony. And everyone she's relied on to keep her secrets is under surveillance by the new Governor, a man committed to obliterating the practice of the unseen arts at all costs.
Just as Finch grasps the true peril threatening the colony, she confronts the one choice she's not prepared for: betray her master, or watch him pay the cruelest price of sorcery.
Her untamed witchcraft saved her time and time again-but Finch is out of time.

When keeping her most ill-advised promise uncovers the true extent of her master's folly, she faces a reckoning beyond any witchcraft, spells, or wards.
Finch promised herself she'd never lose another loved one to a demon.
Is it the one promise she has to break?
