Many
years ago, the Original Sixteen witches were able to contain an
outbreak of demon-like creatures from overtaking the earth. But doing so
came at a cost. For the human race to survive, the world had to be
divided into sixteen sectors, trapping the Ravagers to the Outlands
beyond, and trapping the humans in.
The Original Sixteen served as Regents
over each of these sectors, and when they died, the strongest of witches
took their place, using their own personal enchantment abilities to
protect their sector. In the process, communication was lost. The only
solace that remains is the knowledge that if another sector fails, their
own may still survive.
But what happens when your sector is the
one to fail? What happens when the world inside your walls is just as
bad as the one outside them? In this collection of sixteen adult dystopian
paranormal romance tales, each and every one of the sixteen sectors is
about to find out.

New York Times bestselling author Rebecca Hamilton’s ORIGIN is the
first in the dystopian paranormal romance collective, The Othala Witch
Collection.
Don’t fall in love with the Doomed Queen.
ALEC KLADIVO: Soldier. Hunter. Fool.
When
Alec was a boy, the border posts failed, and Ravagers infiltrated their
sector. Through sacrificing his sister, he saved his city and gained
the respect of Sector One’s Regent. Ever since that day, he has served
his sector with unfailing loyalty and nobility. Until he met her.
ADIRA CHOVANEK: Thief. Witch. Doomed Queen.
In
Sector One, there is no greater commodity than a witch. Which is
exactly why each and every one of them are in hiding. Should they be
discovered by the hunters, they will suffer one of two fates—both of
which end in death—unless they can kill a Ravager and bring forth an
heir for the sector’s Regent. The only problem is, the Regent is
sterile, and would sooner exile a Doomed Queen than admit that to
himself or anyone else. This is Adira's fate.
THIRTEEN: The number of days before Adira’s death.
Alec
has given Adira just under two weeks to turn herself in and accept her
role as the only person who might be able to save their failing sector
from certain extinction. And he’s spent each and every one of those days
trying to convince her it is the right thing to do. But what happens
once he’s finally persuaded her, only to find out he’d been mistaken all
along?
Read what fans of The 100, Under the Dome, and Wayward Pines are hoping will be the next hit television drama.

the same man she left behind. In his place is a cold and emotionless
stranger.
Mason will never forget the day Elora disappeared over
the ice bridge. It was the day the Ice Witch tore out his soul. He has
settled into his life as a Tank Guard, protecting the small inlet at the
northern edge of the sector from ravagers. But with Elora’s return, he
has an opportunity to reclaim his soul and the life he thought lost

No matter which side of the coin she’s on, Star is destined to lose everything she loves.
To keep Sector Eleven in his bloodline, Jaden has to marry a pure
witch. Born into the Regency, his challenge is to find a wife who
satisfies his mother’s criteria while also managing to love him. Easier
said than done when ambition supersedes the connection of hearts in a
love mandate.
When Jaden asks Star to help him find a suitable mate, she agrees,
but her heart doesn’t want any part of it. Forced to serve the Regency
since she was born, Star has been raised to hide her magical ability
from Jaden and his mother, for fear the Regent would carry out her
promise to destroy Star if she ever showed a propensity for magic.
Star is not sure which is worse, exposing her secrets to the man she
loves which will have her exiled to the ravagers, and certain death, or
playing matchmaker and losing Jaden to someone else. No matter which
side of the coin she’s on, she’s destined to lose everything she cares
about.
