Because we all have something we're waiting for.After seventeen-year-old Thais Allard loses her widowed father in a tragic car accident, she is forced to leave the only home she's ever known to live with a total stranger in New Orleans. New Orleans greets Thais with many secrets and mysteries, but none as unbelievable as the moment she comes face to face with the impossible— an identical twin, Clio. Thais soon learns that she and the twin she never knew come from a family of witches, that she possesses astonishing powers, and that she, along with Clio, has a key role in Balefire, the coven she was born into. Fiery Clio is less than thrilled to have to share the spotlight, but the twins must learn to combine their powers in order to complete a rite that will transform their lives and the coven forever.

I loved Cate Tiernan's Sweep series, and I've been meaning to pick up the Balefire series for a while - it sounds like a more thought out, but just as interesting, version of the Sweep series. And now, they're all in one little book for me!
And look at that cover. Something about it - it just draws you in. It's interesting, intoxicating, and awesome.
OMG this has not been in print for a while - from what Cate says I have been TRYING to get the series from Paperback swap but so far not much luck - OMG OMG OMG I am soo excited - I LOVE Cate, the Sweep series is a fav of mine WOOT!!! THANK YOU!!
