In a world where magic is passed down along gender lines, what happens when a woman is born with her father's magic?
Underground DJ and staunch introvert Astix Cavaldi is guilty of the unthinkable by simply being born. An outcast in magical society for her unprecedented power, Astix finds her solitude rudely interrupted when she discovers a rising swell of darkness in their world. As much as her family distrusts her magic, it may be the one thing they need to save them.
Leonidas Voltaire- the golden only child of the head of the community that patrols all magic users-takes an instant liking to Astix when he witnesses the long-lost daughter confront her family and stand up to him right after. But his father has tasked him with tracking her movements, only serving to fuel Astix's distrust.
Evil beckons, love tempts, and Astix would rather be anywhere else. Romantically pursued by a man who works for the one organization she's running from is not exactly her fondest wish. But when Darkness kidnaps her sisters, she'll need Leo's love, and a little bit of magic, to face off against the mother of darkness that's threatening them all.
Fans of Sarah J. Maas, Patricia Briggs, and Illona Andrews will find themselves enthralled with this dark paranormal romance series full of magic, love, and betrayal.
