It’s a powerful magic that many would kill to have on their side, especially amongst the nobility to which Safi was born. So Safi must keep her gift hidden, lest she be used as a pawn in the struggle between empires.Iseult, a Threadwitch, can see the invisible ties that bind and entangle the lives around her—but she cannot see the bonds that touch her own heart.

With the help of the cunning Prince Merik (a Windwitch and privateer) and the hindrance of a Bloodwitch bent on revenge, the friends must fight emperors, princes, and mercenaries alike who will stop at nothing to get their hands on a Truthwitch."An instant new classic."--Sarah J. Maas, New York Times bestselling author of Throne of Glass

An instant New York Times, USA Today, and Indie bestseller!"An irresistible blend of small-town murder mystery and spine-tingling supernatural elements."-Karen M. McManus, #1 New York Times bestselling author of One of Us Is LyingFrom New York Times bestselling author Susan Dennard comes The Executioners Three, a mystery filled with rivalry, romance, best friends, and a gruesome curse that dates back centuries.Freddie Gellar didn't mean to get half the rival high school arrested. She'd simply heard shrieks coming from the woods, so she'd called the cops like any good human would do. How was she supposed to know it was just kids partying?Except the next day, a body is found. And while the local sheriff might call it suicide, Freddie's instincts tell her otherwise. So, like the aspiring sleuth (and true X-Files aficionado) she is, Freddie sets out to prove there's a murderer at large.But her investigation is quickly disrupted by the rivalry between her school and the school of the partying teens she got arrested. For over twenty years, the two student bodies have had an ongoing prank war, and Freddie's failed attempt at Good Samaritanism has upped the ante. Worse, the clever-and gorgeous-leader of the rival prank squad has set his sights on Freddie.As more pranks unfurl, more bodies also start piling up in the forest. But it's the supernatural warning signs around town, each plucked straight from an old forgotten poem called "The Executioners Three," that worry Freddie the most. She knows the poem and its blood curse can't be real, but she's quickly running out of time to prove it.Because the murderer-or executioners?-knows she's onto them now, and their next target just might be Freddie.Also by Susan DennardThe Luminaries trilogyThe LuminariesThe Hunting MoonThe Whispering NightThe Witchlands seriesTruthwitchWindwitchSightwitch (novella)BloodwitchWitchshadowWitchlight
