A vampyre with a vendetta. A wytch with everything to lose. Teaming up was never the goal, but falling in love? Even less so.
Maia Darsha has always known that Coven Layng would be hers to lead one day. Is she the best person for the job? No, but she’s the only one left.
Everything’s going as planned, until the High Coven hits her with a “love the effort, but… hard pass”. She’s faced with two leave willingly or prove herself worthy through a Trial of Ascension.
Enter Raven—a vengeful vampyre who doesn’t think twice about staking her own mother through the heart. She’s unhinged, unpredictable, and a walking red flag.
But the dark shadow vamp has something Maia needs—a powerful wytch contact who can help her train for the Trial. Their deal is Raven’s contact for Maia’s blood. No strings. No emotions.
But Maia soon discovers that some deals are inked in more than blood… Some are tattooed straight onto the heart.
