Accession (Sarath Web #1) by Terah Edun
Publication Date: August 5, 2014
Genre: Young Adult Paranormal
~Summary~
Sixteen-year-old Katherine Thompson wasn’t trained to rule a coven. That was her sister – perfect, beautiful Rose. But when a mysterious plane crash kills off the heir presumptive of the Sandersville coven she has no choice. After stepping in to fill her sister’s shoes, Katherine realizes she didn’t have a clue – faery wars, depressed trolls and angry unicorns are just the beginning.
For centuries, her family has served the high Queens on both sides of the Atlantic but it is a well-known rule that mid-level witches stay away from high-level Queens. But when Katherine’s youngest cousin vanishes without a trace in the Atlanta court and no one wants to investigate, Katherine decides to step into the darkness on her own. She soon discovers that nothing, especially in the Atlanta High Queen’s court, is as it seems.
When she accidentally opens a rift in the search for her cousin, Richard LeCross, the Queen’s warlock, decides that Katherine is more trouble than she’s worth. He determines that this mortal, dangerously close to becoming a High Queen, needs to die. But killing Katherine is easier said than done. For a young woman who’s always believed in right versus wrong, she’s about to go head over heels into the dark side.
~Excerpt~
You
know the old saying ‘If I tell you, I’ll have to kill you?’ Katherine
thought wryly while she waited for her sister and Derrick to do their worst. Well, I have the opposite problem. If I show
you my gifts, you’ll be dead. There’s no explaining, no second guessing. Which
was why even though she was furious with her older sister, she couldn’t defend
herself. Not as a witch. Katherine might not like her sister, but she loved her. Loved her in the way that
siblings that fought like cats and dogs, but still hung together against a
common enemy did. Since they were rarely on the same side of anything recently, Rose and Katherine
had yet to face anything worse than the schoolyard bully they had taken down
together when Katherine was in kindergarten and Rose was in second grade. That
incident had proved that blood trumped friends, at least in the all-out war
over the marbles container, that is.
But
now? Now, Rose and I never really see eye-to-eye at all,
Katherine thought with a shiver. She must
have been desperate to invite me on this stupid escapade. I know I was pretty
stupid to accept the invitation. And now I’m going to pay for that. That hope
that for once Rose wanted me along
for me, as her sister…as a friend.
