博客來A young professional in over his head takes on the most powerful witch in the world in the high-flying sequel to The Witch’s Assistant.
A month ago, twenty-four-year-old Clark Crane would have attested his new job as an assistant to fashion titan Charisma Saintly was a dream come true. But he soon found himself ensnared in an honest-to-goddess coven in which power is currency, spilled blood is routine, and failure means death.
Now, Clark must help his celebrity clients-an A-list popstar and a scandal-ridden comedienne-escape a witch’s contract, a supernatural conservatorship, and a fate that demands their lives (or his) as sacrifices. Meanwhile, a rival coven led by the enigmatic Mother has recruited Clark to bring down Charisma’s empire from within. Plus, his best friend and coworker, Emily, who’s always had his back before, is suddenly nowhere to be found, leaving Clark to navigate the real-life costs of magic on his own.
And all this as he’s dodging sabotage from Charisma’s assistants, attempting to maintain some semblance of a love life, and most unnervingly, manifesting powers of his own: abilities that could either save him or turn him into the very thing he’s working to destroy. Clark must decide-and quickly-what he’s willing to sacrifice: his morals, his soul, even his own life.
Blending the glamourous drama of The Real Housewives with fast-paced plotting, tongue-in-cheek dialogue, and themes of power, sacrifice, and self-discovery, A Witch’s Ascension is the addictive continuation of a series in which selling one’s soul is only the beginning . . .
