One For My Enemy cover

In a magical Manhattan, two rival witch families fight for control, leading to a tragic conflict that tests loyalties in One For My Enemy.

Set against the vibrant backdrop of Manhattan's magical underworld, One For My Enemy follows the fierce rivalry between two powerful witch families, the Antonova sisters and the Fedorov brothers. For over a decade, these families have been locked in a tense stalemate, each vying for control of the city’s criminal underbelly. However, a tragic event disrupts this fragile balance, forcing both sides to confront long-held grudges and loyalties. As the conflict escalates, the stakes rise, and alliances are tested in unexpected ways.

Amidst the chaos, a forbidden romance blossoms between members of the opposing families, adding another layer of complexity to an already fraught situation. The heirs of both families must navigate their feelings while dealing with the internal struggles that threaten to tear their respective clans apart. As ambition and sacrifice come to the forefront, the characters are faced with choices that could lead to their downfall or redemption.

One For My Enemy is not just a tale of magic and rivalry; it explores the enduring power of family legacies and the lengths individuals will go to protect those they love. With vivid illustrations by Little Chmura and a bonus short story, this captivating narrative immerses readers in a world where love and loyalty collide in the most unexpected ways.

The Atlas Six introduces six of the most devious, talented, and flawed characters to ever find themselves in a magical library, and then sets them against one another in a series of stunning betrayals and reversals. As much a delicious contest of wit, will, and passion as it is of magic, this book is half mystery, half puzzle, and wholly a delight -- Holly Black on The Atlas Six
Lethally smart. Filled with a cast of brilliantly realized characters, each entangled with one another in torturously delicious ways, The Atlas Six will grip you by the throat and refuse to let go. Olivie Blake is a mind-blowing talent -- Chloe Gong on The Atlas Six
The Atlas Six will thrill those who love twisted plots, twisted relationships, and morally grey characters ready to kill for knowledge and power. Dark, ambitious, and engaging -- H. G. Parry on The Atlas Six
Coolly horrific, brilliantly brainy and utterly compelling -- Daily Mail on The Atlas Six
