Until one fateful night changes everything. A near-death experience unlocks a legacy of magic buried deep within her bloodline—an inheritance of power, mystery, and danger that thrusts her into a world she never knew existed.

As dark magic rises and shadowy enemies close in, Maya and Ryan must fight not only the forces hunting them—but the forbidden bond sparking between them. Every glance burns. Every touch tempts. And every secret uncovered pulls them deeper into a fate neither of them saw coming.
