Blightshade

"Lorne’s magic is rotting him from the inside out."

As the only Curse Crafter in the city of Veil, Lorne Atwater is already out of place in witch society and as a mysterious blight rots his magic, he’s only growing more volatile. Vain and terrified of unmasking his corruption, Lorne cuts all ties and hides within an illusion of perfection while he searches fruitlessly for a cure.

But Lorne hasn’t escaped notice. A vengeful curse victim—Sacha Finch—corners Lorne into an impossible bargain: break Finch’s curse in exchange for a cure to the blight.

For the chance to save his magic, Lorne must confront the relationships he’s severed, expose his diseased magic, and face the very monster who blighted him.

"Lorne accepted the mug, breathing in the fragrant spiced tea. It was a pale oat color from all the cream, flecks of nutmeg and cardamom dusting the top."
