Bloodlines of Salem

Peyton Alderwood never asked to be the target of a centuries-old curse. In Salem, Massachusetts, where four magical families have been locked in uneasy coexistence since the Witch Trials, survival is a blood birthright-and most of the women in her family don't live past eighteen.When Corbin Pope, the last living descendant of the man who cursed them all, finally makes his move, Peyton is forced to confront an impossible truth: the monster hunting her family might be just as trapped as she is. Kidnapped and held captive, she has to find a way to break a curse that has claimed hundreds of lives of previous female descendants. Or watch everything she loves burn.However, breaking the cycle won't come through violence or revenge. It will require something far more dangerous: the choice to love her enemy; to trust when every instinct screams betrayal. To believe that even centuries-old magic can be unmade by the power of mercy.As her family fights to save her and her bond with Thorne Sanders deepens into something neither of them can deny, Peyton discovers that she might be the key to a redemption no one thought possible-if she can survive long enough to claim it.
