In Secreta - Paperback

by L. J. Baines (Author)

"A thrilling sequel. Luke has done it again with a romantasy that's addictive, cinematic and funny. Think The Da Vinci Code meets The Umbrella Academy, with love, magic, mystery and the kind of story you want to inhale in one sitting. Loved it." -Claire Holt, actress, The Vampire Diaries and The Originals

Eva Nelson wanted answers. What she found was a world built on lies.

In the follow-up to In Scientia, Eva must reckon with the cost of the truth as secrets surface from every corner of her life. Her family. The boy she loves. Even the story of her parents' deaths seems to change depending on who is telling it.

The more Eva learns, the more dangerous she becomes to the ancient order that has spent centuries deciding who gets knowledge, who gets protected, and who gets erased. But Eva has survived too much to surrender quietly. Armed with dangerous new magic, impossible wealth, and a best friend who would follow her into hell, she is beginning to understand that the power they fear may be the only thing that can set her free.

From the glittering danger of Manhattan to the guarded estates of London and the volcanic winds of the Canary Islands, In Secreta is a seductive, high-stakes sequel about forbidden love, ancient secrets, inherited betrayal, and a girl discovering that existence is not something she needs permission for.

"Darker, spicier and impossible to resist. Luke Baines returns to the world of In Scientia with deeper longing, sharper betrayals and secrets that unfold like spells. Every page feels charged with heart, humor and desire, leaving the reader helplessly, breathlessly enchanted."-Hope Lauren, actress, Supergirl and The Republic of Sarah

"A full-throttle sequel that grabs you from the first chapter and never lets go. Luke Baines raises the stakes, deepens the mystery, and delivers a world of magic, danger and emotion that hits even harder the second time around."-Todd Slavkin, Emmy-nominated executive producer of Shadowhunters and Smallville.
