The Trials

Melody Callahan is a beautiful, smart, successful, and accomplished physician who spends her days dedicated to the service of others. But when she comes home after a long shift and finds a skull-marked envelope waiting, it's her turn to need help. Mel has been Selected for the Trials, a series of magical contests where you either win or you die. Oh, and she hasn't practiced magic since she was a child. With the help of her family and her gorgeous but complete tool of a Guardian, Lukas, Mel quickly discovers long-buried secrets that threaten to change everything about the Trials -- and Mel -- forevermore.
