Even the wicked were once innocent…
Being a Mage is all I’ve ever wanted but to become one, I’ll have to sacrifice the only thing I have left… my humanity.
Magic is forbidden, a cursed stain on society and it flows through my veins like poison. The shame of my birth pushes my human grandmother to do the unforgivable and suppress my gift in a desperate attempt to save my soul. Binding my magic kept me hidden for over two decades but it didn’t stop me from craving the power that my family denied me.
When Gran dies suddenly, I find myself free but my joy is short-lived when my father learns of my existence and sends his most loyal soldier to collect me. Not even the shadows can keep me hidden from him and when he catches me, he’ll never let me go.
The Roanokes live like kings and their lifestyle is too tempting for anyone to resist. But life as the daughter of a mage clan leader comes at a cost and they expect it to be paid in blood. All I have to do is survive their games and maybe I can earn my rightful place among them…
