Novel & Cerita The Secret Circle Book Collection

Her expression was unreadable for once, and I almost liked it. She tucked the transcript under her arm and took a step back. “Where you keep things is sometimes half the battle.” “The Circle has a penchant for secret keeping.” She inclined her head minutely at that, just enough to acknowledge my remark before stalking away down the path to Ivory Tower. Left me standing there beneath a swirl of fresh snowflakes as her retreating shadow lengthened against the snow-covered ground. She hadn’t thanked me. Offered me warning. Tried to stop me. Because she knew.

“I can’t keep going around and around in circles with you. I have known you long enough to know when you are hiding something.” I was seriously lucky that Kade was my best friend. No other alpha would tolerate the level of disrespect that I was showing him right now. Kade sighed. “Fine. But this stays between us. I mean it. I don’t want you blabbing to Jenna or anyone else.” “She’s my mate, Kade. I promised her that I wouldn’t keep any secrets from her.” “Then we are done here.” “No, we aren’t. Tell me what is going on.”

“I’m not. I want this score just as much as you guys. I put my dream house up for sale for this.” “And the boyfriend?” “Like I told you and Anthony a month ago, as soon as the house sells, I’m moving in here and fading away from the people I know. I’m expecting an offer any day now.” “I hope it happens sooner than later, to be honest. All three of us are keeping this secret from Bobbi. The reason why BAAM works is because we are all transparent with each other.” “Well, it won’t be a problem in a month or so. How is everything on your end going?”

I don’t tell anyone where I’m going. I leave the inn at twilight, before the sun fully dies and the cold sets in. I don’t want the others here for this. Not Erik, not Aunt Cerelia, not even my mother. This is mine. A final warning to the ones who keep trying to shape me into something I never agreed to become. The Circle is waiting in the courtyard behind the old church. The one that hasn’t held prayers in a hundred years. They like quiet places. Forgotten places. They think it gives them power. An aura of mystery and some kind of psychic power.

“The Phoenix recognizes you.” And just like that, the room shifted not in structure, but in allegiance. They had come to break her, now they would bow. The oldest priest rose again but this time, his voice was different. “Your claim is valid. But power does not rest in confession alone. There is one more step.” A second altar was revealed. Behind it: a door, iron sealed with ancestral runes. Behind the door was the Book of Origin—the true foundation of the Circle. A book sealed by blood, only to be opened by the heir who had both fire and forgiveness.

Each shelf was filled with books and scrolls that contained pack history and strategies. My eyes scanned the titles absentmindedly as I made my way to the book Lucian had requested. While I was doing that, my eyes caught something peculiar. On the far shelf at the other end of the office, there was a single leather-bound book that stood out. It was named the Pack Secrets. The title alone sparked curiosity, and without thinking, I reached for it. The worn book cover felt cool against my fingers, and something about it felt forbidden and dangerous. “What are you hiding, Lucian?” I whispered under my breath.

It was here, amidst the hushed whispers of knowledge, that Jasmine’s life took an unexpected turn. She had come to return a book, a first edition of Pride and Prejudice that her grandmother had gifted her. It was irreplaceable, a piece of her family’s history, and she’d been meticulous about keeping it safe. But in her haste to grab a book on the top shelf, she’d accidentally swapped it with someone else’s. When she realized her mistake, she’d already left the library, and the book she’d taken home was not hers. The book she’d ended up with was a first edition of The Great Gatsby, its cover embossed with gold lettering.

The tradition is passed down from generation to generation. While dark magic users have been around since the beginning, in recent deKaelens, rumors of one specific group have surfaced. They call it The Circle. This would indicate that the dark witch families are more organized and unified than previously assumed. I hummed. The Circle, and 5th Circle, could be one and the same. For several hours, I scanned through the rest of the book. It included a lot of conspiracy theories, but nothing concrete. No names of suspected dark witches—just a bunch of vagaries. The book wasn’t even written by a dark witch.

A short synopsis for Secrets: Past Unveiled. After leaving behind her hometown in Ohio, Kahlan had hope for normalacy. New place. New friends. New life. She was wrong. Her murderous ex boyfriend, Ryan Wingo, was the one thing that she wanted to leave behind, but when he shows up unexpectedly, Kahlan is forced to face her past. Her life is forever altered, in more ways than one. Questions arise. Is she able to handle the truth or will the ghosts of the past bring her down once and for all?

**Ruby** “It’s lovely to finally meet you, my dear.” Viktor said as he kissed my hand. “We have so much to talk about. I have brought some of the scrolls from our archives. I came across three prophacies that are very similar, by that I mean minor detail that are identical but the outcomes are drastically different.” “Ruby,” I looked at Dez. “I haven’t told you about my meeting with Viktor, because I knew you would have questions that I can not answer.”
