About Lady Nightmare: War of the Old Gods, Book 1 by Rachel M. Yoldi:
Forced into hiding, Keres Von Kesting yearns for a normal life, but the dark secrets she harbors threaten to unravel everything.
Desperate to escape her troubled past, Keres has spent the last six months living quietly under the protection of her best friend Hez and his witch coven. As she strives for normalcy, she pretends the shadowy magic in her veins makes her just like Hez: a witch. Even if she knows that her magic is something different—and more powerful—than any the witches have dealt with before.
When a chance encounter leads to her arrest for forged citizenship papers, Keres is offered a deal by the High Priestess of Cristata. If Keres returns to the dangerous world of her past to recover a list of ancient artifacts, all will be forgiven. If she does not, the fragile life she has built will be ripped away, putting not just the coven, but the secret Keres would do anything to protect at risk.
Caught between her hidden truth and the demands of the Priestess, Keres must do what she does best: track down what doesn’t want to be found. Thrust into the heart of a conflict between the Cristatan government and a growing rebellion, Keres navigates encounters with powerful figures on both sides of the conflict. To do so, she must tap into the darkness she thought she had left behind, only to stumble upon a shocking discovery that upends her entire world—someone else with magic just like hers.
Lady Nightmare is the first high-stakes fantasy adventure in the War of the Old Gods series, where Keres is forced to navigate a web of danger and deceit, and her choices could either save her or cost her everything.
