Book excerpt: Join Kat and her crew in a tale of found family, forbidden romance, redemption and self-forgiveness... and of Cuddles, the undead cat. Fire of the Sorceress Believe me, I’ve tried, and the only thing I’ve achieved in protecting the balance between magical and mundane is massive burnout. My magic has waned, my motivation is in embers, and my social graces are lacking. Not helping at all is my ex, the servant of Death binding me to existence. The man I crave with every breath but whose presence in my life risks losing him forever. I’m ready to swear off this world. But when a blood mage with troubling ambitions sets his sights on the city’s covens, the voices of my past refuse to let me sit by and do nothing. To stop him, I’ll need to dust off decades of indifference, gather whatever allies I haven’t driven away, and tap into my forgotten power. It’s time to remind myself what I’m capable of. The monsters better start trembling. Fury of the Sorceress After nine hundred years protecting the balance between magical and mundane, I do my best to avoid squabbles among the fanged variety. They’re overdramatic, dress better than I do, and never have simple problems. My oldest friend included. But when Adrian asks me, his favourite sorceress, to do him a favour and help find a missing vampire queen, what can I do but say yes? Especially when my sort-of protegée has a vision about all the ways the city will go sideways if we don’t get her back on her throne. The missing person’s case quickly turns into a free-for-all as a horde of rogue human thralls decide I would better serve the vampires as a corpse. Who’s giving them orders? Because it certainly isn’t the missing queen. Not helping matters is my ex-lover, a servant of Death who refuses to stay where he’s supposed to: in my past. With the city on the brink of war, the vampire nest on the edge of collapse, and my suitcase at serious risk of running empty before this problem is resolved, I have to put all the missing pieces together before it’s too late. Oh yeah. Adrian owes me big time. Fear of the Sorceress My sluggish magic has woken up, but of course I’m not able to lounge in bed while I get reacquainted with it. No, instead I have a blaring alarm clock in the shape of a fear demon I banished to hell eight hundred years ago. Someone's summoned him back, and he's picking up right where he left off—wreaking havoc, inciting mobs, and threatening mass human casualties. And he's using a member of my chosen family to do it. It's on me to stop him, and the threats are rising. Emrick, the servant of Death who makes my legs weak, refuses to step aside, but I can't let him help. Not when doing so breaks Death's one rule: don't get involved. To banish this demon, I’ll need to do more than get to know my magic again. I’ll need to bring hell to earth. Without losing one of my only friends in the process. If I mess this up, millions will burn and my sanity might crack. If I do this right? The only thing fear should be afraid of is me. Shadow of the Sorceress Twice in two months, a witch named Abigail has used my dark history to try to destroy me. For weeks, my team has hunted her, but she’s as skilled as evading us as I am at stuffing my nightmares where I can’t see them. Except she’s not evading us anymore. Now she’s coming straight for us, and I have to be ready. For every blow she strikes, I need to strike back—even if it means turning my feet in a direction I haven’t walked in almost nine hundred years. Emrick and my chosen family stand with me, but I fear they’ll get caught in the crossfire. Especially as secrets are revealed and the truth unravels in ways that make my world tremble. Abigail thinks she can use my past to draw blood. I’ll make her regret every drop.
