Katherine Bayless

A Jot of Blood Katherine Bayless

Being sixteen is hard enough, but add magic to the mix and things have a way of getting complicated in a hurry. Even at Coventry Academy, one of the best schools in the world for the magically inclined, some 'gifts' mean nothing but trouble. What do you do when anything-your clothes, your food, the accidental brush of a fingertip-can instantly reveal the darkest secrets of your closest friend ... or, worse, a mortal enemy? Coventry may have been Lire Devon's haven since she was a little girl, but there are some who despise and even fear her rare clairvoyant power. Now, after years of simmering resentment, Lire's nemesis, a sorceress with beauty, status, and dangerous connections, has thrown down the gauntlet. The challenge will push Lire's resourcefulness to its limits and beyond-to a place where arcane dangers lurk and the price of power is knowledge too excruciating to bear. Warning: The contents of this book include one surly werewolf, a snarky invisible prankster, and enough indelicate language to make a succubus blush.
