Perfect for fans of Beautiful Creatures, The Winter of Discontent is a modern-day fantasy about star-crossed love, magic, and trying to fit in at high school. Sarah Trent is your average sixteen year old girl. Having returned to the States to settle down, she just wants to study for her exams and make friends she could keep for more than just a few months. Her intentions change when she's unexplainably drawn to geeky Erik Zauber, and she's swept into a new world of secrets, magic, and a family secret that's been hidden for generations. Erik Zauber isn't your average sixteen year old boy. The youngest in a family of Segan Warlocks who have spent their lives hiding from the ruthless Warlock Council's ancient prophecy, his family's safety becomes threatened by his relationship with Sarah - who unknowingly could bring down the tyranny of the Council once and for all. The Winter of Discontent is the first in a four book series which takes us through the difficult throes of first love - made even harder when you're a teenager with a habit of causing magical mayhem in school.
