Causal Enchantment

Evangeline has spent her teenage years in obscurity. Her foster parents have the emotional aptitude of robots, and her classmates barely acknowledge her existence. About to turn 18 and feeling like a social pariah, she is desperate to connect with someone. Anyone. When Evangeline meets Sophie after literally stumbling upon her café, she believes she's found that connection. Willing to do anything to keep it, she accepts a job as Sofie's assistant and drops everything to fly to Manhattan.

Tucked away in Sofie's wintery asylum with no hope of release for years, Evangeline must come to terms with her situation: the curse still plagues her, she's now hunted by a 2,000-year-old vampire, and the guy she's in love with tried to kill her. Plus, she's locked up with a cranky Max and the Forero kids - two people everyone seems to prefer dead over alive. Things aren't looking good.

Evangeline finally got what she longed for - the cursed pendant off her neck and Caden in her arms - only it has come at a steep price. An unknown poison now courses through her body, slowly morphing her into something no one but the Fates can foresee. She has her suspicions, though...and, if she is right, it will spell certain ruin for her and Caden.

She was merely a pawn in their game. And then something happened. Once a fragile, naïve human, Evangeline has become altogether...different. A being who holds formidable power, she may be the key to changing the course of fate. Or she could be the final nail in the world's coffin. But Evangeline doesn't know exactly what she is, what she can do. She knows only that she has to stop an enemy far worse than the Sentinel and the sorceresses - one driven by revenge. And he's hunting the man she loves.
