Ciara Graves

After a massacre that shatters the Vorigan line-yes, including a heart ripped from a chest-Bowen and Loranna drag what's left of their people to Tennessee and pick a fight with a would-be king. Human sectors seal shut, memory-wiped officials shrug, and the Royal Council plays politics while Radomir stacks the board with Duskrenders and cursed relics. (Skull of Ozith, anyone?) What follows is pure urban-fantasy war: pillar-shattering street battles to break the sector spell, midnight diplomacy with fanged frenemies, and a blood-slick final reckoning that decides the thrones of two covens-and the fate of their second-chance, ride-or-die romance.
