The Hidden Goddess
Being engaged to a socially-prominent warlock in 19th century New York can be daunting — especially if you’re a witch from a small town in California who’s never sat at a dinner table with more than one fork.
A month has passed since the adventures that brought Emily Edwards from Lost Pine to New York City, but navigating New York magical society is as taxing and treacherous as anything she’s faced so far. Emily’s future mother-in-law is a sociopathic socialite who is not at all pleased with her only son’s choice of a bride. Dreadnought Stanton — Emily’s fiance — has a dark past which has by no means given up all its secrets. And Emily’s own past may hold answers that a shadowy group of Russian scientists will give anything to possess.
Emily will have to brave all these challenges — not to mention an ancient sect of Aztec blood-sorcerers bent on plunging the world into apocalypse — if she and Dreadnought are to have any hope of living happily ever after.
