Perfect for fans of The Shadows Between Us and Powerless , this high stakes romantasy follows a vengeful teen who cons her way into an elite society of tyrannical witches. But her warring feelings for two people - an enemy prince and her childhood friend - could ruin everything.

Caya was once the ward of Coventry's royal family . . . until they were killed by the three witch Houses that now rule the peninsula.

Now eighteen, Caya plans to infiltrate the witches' glittering world to enact justice. With the help of a mysterious benefactor, she adopts the persona of Marisol Vinyet, a disarmingly beautiful aristocrat. As Marisol, she'll attend the annual Coronet, a cutthroat social season during which witches increase their power by binding new members to their Houses. The Coronet will draw even the prince of neighboring Domingo - Tomás Castellan - to the peninsula just in time for "Marisol" to kill him. After all, his family set the witches upon Coventry in the first place.

But Tomás is more charming than Caya ever anticipated. Worse, her estranged childhood friend, Bas Arroyo, is the prince's protector, and she struggles to control her complicated feelings for him.

To take down the witches from within, Caya will have to keep both her identity and her desperate heart under wraps: Although she's made herself a weapon, she might be the one to bleed.

'Scheming, seductive, and ferociously angry, Wicked Endeavors is a glittering fantasy about vengeance, revolution, and a love poisoned by betrayal. This is your next witchy obsession' Kristen Ciccarelli, New York Times bestselling author of The Crimson Moth
