The half bad trilogy5/28/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() It's a heart-poundingly visceral look at survival and exploitation, the nature of good and evil, and the risks we take for love. Set in modern-day Europe, the final book in the Half Bad trilogy is more than a story about witches. But even Gabriel's love may not be enough to save Nathan from this war, or from the person he has become. Gabriel, his closest companion, encourages Nathan to run away with him, to start a peaceful life together. And lately Nathan has started to suffer from visions: a vision of a golden moment when he dies, and of an endless line of Hunters, impossible to overcome. But the amulet is not so easily acquired. There is an amulet, protected by the extremely powerful witch Ledger, which could be the tool Nathan needs to save himself and the Alliance. Nor is Nathan any closer to his personal goal: getting revenge on Annalise, the girl he once loved, before she committed an unthinkable crime. Their most critical weapon, seventeen-year-old witch Nathan Brynn, has killed fifty-two people, and yet he's no closer to ending the tyrannical, abusive rule of the Council of White Witches in England. ![]() The magical, stunning conclusion to the internationally acclaimed Half Bad trilogy-now available in more than 50 countries. ![]()
