Zarya and the Cursed Skull

Strange events are stirring in Zarya's life. The year she turns seventeen, everything changes. "But Grandpa," she asked, her voice trembling, "am I... a witch?" When Zarya Blackwell discovers she possesses extraordinary powers, she sets off with her best friend, Abbie, to spend the summer with her grandfather in Paris. There, he reveals long-hidden truths about her-and takes her to his mysterious hometown, where uncanny events begin to unfold: dark beasts thought vanished two centuries ago reappear, eerie whistles pierce the night, and objects move of their own accord... Yet a far greater threat looms: Malphas, a ruthless man determined to seize the power Zarya inherited through her bloodline. What secret has shadowed Zarya's family for thousands of years-and will she have the courage to confront it?
