Half Bad

What would you do if the people you trust most were also the ones who feared you most? In a world secretly divided between Black and White Witches, you are Nathan Byrn, an outcast trapped between both sides. Hunted by the Council of White Witches and haunted by the legacy of your father—the most evil Black Witch of all time—your only chance for survival is to escape before your seventeenth birthday, when your powers will be claimed or you will die. Your journey to freedom is a race against time. To unlock your full power and claim your identity, you must find your father and receive three gifts from him. But with both White and Black Witches wanting you for their own purposes, you'll have to decide who to trust and what you're willing to sacrifice. Discover how to navigate a world of prejudice and danger where the line between good and evil is anything but clear.
