Maggi, Nicole

Mellie has always abided by the rules of her ultra-conservative family. But when she is raped by someone she trusts, she has no one to turn to. And when she discovers she is pregnant, she's faced with a life-altering choice. Liese is a young champion for women's rights, and when she notices Mellie acting strangely, she gets caught up in a whirlwind trying to save her.

Normal is never an option for a Benandante like Alessia, who has sworn to protect the magic in the world from the Malandanti. When the war comes to a head, lives will be lost, love will be gained, and Alessia will risk everything to save the people she loves and destroy the Malandanti once and for all.

With a Concilio elder hiding out on the farm, Alessia's life gets more complicated as she juggles school, her clan responsibilities, and her feelings for Jonah, a member of the enemy clan.

When a new family moves into town, sixteen-year-old Alessia learns that she is a member of the Benandanti, a cult of warriors capable of transforming into animals.
