Hexborn

Witch by birth, warlock by trade.Adeline Thorne is a witch. The magic living inside her is not. And time is not on her side. The warlock magic coursing through her veins is volatile, incompatible with her witch blood, and growing more unstable by the day. Witches don't trust her. Warlocks fear what she could become. And now an unknown voice haunts her.When Luke Churchwell, a powerful warlock runecaster, returns and sees how far her magic has spiralled, he steps in to train her—but his blood oath and Adeline's failing health make every lesson a gamble. And his desire for her may take them both down.Far beyond the city, the hexborn are following a trail of bodies westward. Guided by a young girl's terrifying psychic visions, they track a killer of extraordinary power—and the trail leads straight to Adeline.When the hexborn and Adeline collide, they discover a deadly truth: a lone hunter with terrifying power has been unleashed upon Adeline by someone who wants her gone.Time is running out. The hunter is closing in. And the only thing more dangerous than the enemy in front of them is the secret that created him.Fans of Kim Harrison's dangerous magic and slow-burn love, Ilona Andrews' fierce heroines, and Deborah Harkness's journey of magical awakening will be captivated by Hexborn.
