1. BEWITCHED by Laura Thalassa
SYNOPSIS
Come to me, Empressβ¦
It was supposed to be a simple magic quest, one that would get a witch like me accepted into Henbane Coven. I was never supposed to survive a plane crash, nor was I supposed to discover an ancient tomb and the beautiful, sleeping man trapped inside it.
I knew you would come, my queen. I knew it wasnβt true. It couldnβt be. A love like ours defies everything. I am yours foreverβ¦
I definitely wasnβt supposed to wake Memnon the Cursed. I probably shouldnβt have kissed him either.
You were my everything, and you betrayed meβ¦
Now I fear Iβve unleashed an ancient evil on the world, one who has set his wicked sights on me. And despite his good looks and the beguiling pull of his magic, this terrifying supernatural thinks Iβm some long-dead wife who betrayed him, and as payback, heβs determined to take every last thing I care about from meβmy heart included.
Unless I stop him first.
1.5. THE CURSE THAT BINDS by Laura Thalassa
SYNOPSIS
Before there was hate, there was love. Fated. Doomed. Forgottenβ Until now.
When young Roxilana first hears a voice in her head, she thinks she has gone mad. The truth, however, is stranger still. Because Memnon, the boy who speaks to her, claims he is real. Not only that, he insists they both are god-touched soul mates with the ability to wield magic.
As wild as his claims are, they gradually come to pass. First, Roxilanaβs power Awakens. Then his. But nothing is nearly as startling as the day Memnon, now the sorcerer king of the Sarmatians, arrives at Roxilanaβs doorstep, proclaiming the witch his wife and shepherding her off to his homeland.
Her fate is everything ardent Roxi could have hoped for. But there are things Memnon hasnβt told herβabout his magic, about life as a Sarmatian and what, as queen, she will be asked to endure. Roxilanaβs trials are only beginning. And as sheβll soon discover, there is nothing so dangerous as love mixed with power. For while the combination can build empires and shape legacies, it also has the potential to destroy everything in its path. And, if theyβre not careful, Roxilana and Memnon could be destroyed along with it.
2. BESPELLED by Laura Thalassa
SYNOPSIS
Neither magic, nor time, can keep us apart. We are like the stars. Eternal.
No one told witch Selene Bowers having a soul mate would be so difficult. Nor did they warn her that he might be a vengeful, ancient sorcerer who would frame her for murder, force her to remember a past life he swears she lived, and then coerce her into an unbreakable marriage pact. But thatβs exactly what happens the night of the Samhain Ball, when Selene finds herself in a jail cell.
After waking from enchanted sleep, Memnon swore to discover why Selene betrayed him long ago. But when his soul mateβs memories return, the truth reveals something else entirely. Horrified by his own actions and desperate to make amends, Memnon offers Selene the unthinkable: a magic bond that will give her full control over his will. And Selene is desperate enough to accept it.
But other enemies still haunt Henbane Coven, Seleneβs magical academy, and theyβve taken a keen interest in her. If she wants to stop them, sheβll need Memnonβs help. But partnering with the sorcerer is a tricky business, especially when heβs dead set on winning her heart. And that canβt happenβ¦ because the bond controlling him will break the moment she falls in love with him.
