Steadfast by Claudia Gray, 2014 HarperTeenNadia Caldani and her friends Verlaine and Mateo defeated the local Sorceress Halloween night and expected everything to go back to normal, but the shade that covers Captive's Cove still isolates it from the world. Now there is nothing to fight Nadia and Mateo are exploring their Steadfast bond and relationship.
While her friends discover what the Steadfast bond means for both their friendship and Nadia's magic, Verlaine struggles to deal with her curse. When the biggest jerk in school is suddenly the only one to see through her curse Verlaine is caught in his attention--even knowing he is a demon sent to help the evil Sorceress Elizabeth.
Trying to help her friends reminds Nadia how little she actually knows about her craft. When Elizabeth comes and offers to teach Nadia everything she knows, Nadia is tempted beyond measure despite her desire to remain on the side of good.
Will the things that make Nadia strong--her friendships and compassion for the town which has taken her in--become the things that destroy her? Steadfast is aimed at young adults in the upper levels of high school, dark elements swirl beneath Captive Sound and threaten to destroy the world as Nadia, Mateo, and Verlaine know it.
