Heritage and magic matter to the London covens.
Aristocratic witch, Isabella Pethany, has heritage but not magic.
Underworld powerbroker, amnesiac vampire Maldit, has magic but no heritage.
Lukas Sindis, coven sorcerer and famous psychopath, has both.
Isabella knows her null magic status makes her an embarrassment to her family,
but since Natalie, her sister, was murdered, she is all they have
left. Guilt makes her willing to do almost anything to compensate for
her lack of value, but her grandmother’s proposal to match her with
Lukas, in an attempt to bring strong magic back to their bloodline, is a step too far.

When Maldit rescues a strange witch from hunting vampires, his main
concern is to limit trouble in his territory. Everyone knows witches
are troublesome, and this one is no exception. Her proximity slashes
through his damaged memory, allowing him to catch glimpses of his forgotten past.

Drugs have suppressed Lukas’s magic for almost twenty years, filling him
with a reservoir of trapped power. When he escapes, his magic flies
free, washing over Maldit and Isabella, and clearing away the spells
paralysing both of them.

Isabella? Isabella
Pethany?
Whispers
of her own name floated through her mind. She pushed the pillow aside and sat
up, pressing her hands against her ears. It didn’t stop the insistent
repetition of her name.
Someone
called to her, but who would do a thing like that at this hour of the morning?
The family would all be asleep by now, and the only servant awake should be the
doorman.
Her
imagination was running riot. She lay down, closing her eyes, but the feeling
of being summoned didn’t go away.
Isabella.
Isabella. Isabella.
Her
name echoed around her skull, louder now.
She
sat up abruptly. Next to her, Alfie stirred, growling in his sleep. She ran the
palm of her hand over his shaggy flank and switched the bedside lamp on, before
walking to the window and drawing the curtain back.
Pools
of dim light surrounded the bases of the old-fashioned streetlamps. Between
them, the pavement was dark, and the trees in the square cast black shadows
over the iron railings. She opened the window and leaned out.
“Isabella?”
The voice was a seductive whisper from below. It was definitely real this time,
vibrating through the air, rather than her mind.
She
squinted into the shadows.
The
vampire from the bar stood on the opposite pavement, his figure almost hidden
in the darkness.
Maldit.
Her
heart beat faster.
His
face tilted upwards towards her second-floor window, green eyes glinting.
“What
do you want?” She pressed two fingers to the point in her neck where the skin
was thinnest. Her pulse hammered against them.
