Synopsis

Selene Bowers is twenty and wants one thing: a place at Henbane Coven, an academy for young witches. Entry requires her to connect with her powers on a quest through the wilderness, so she books a trip to South America.

Over the jungle, a hostile supernatural force tries to pull her plane out of the sky. Her magic wakes and saves her life, but it takes payment. Each time she uses it, she loses a memory. In the jungle she tracks down the source of the attack and rouses Memnon the Cursed, an ancient evil who takes her for his long-dead wife, the woman who betrayed him.

Selene escapes and starts her studies at Henbane. Memnon soon appears at the coven, and witches turn up dead across the campus. Because of her memory loss, suspicion falls on Selene, and she is accused of the killings.

This is a paranormal fantasy set in a witch academy, with a dark, threatening edge and a romantic tension between a young woman and a dangerous being from the past. The danger starts in the first chapters and keeps building. Selene needs answers to clear her name, and the only one offering them is Memnon, who has plans of his own for her.
