Sylvia is a serving wench tending to the needs of a wizard who is past his prime. She gets sucked into a palace intrigue that has a much deeper threat lurking below the surface. Despite herself, Sylvia gasped. She withdrew into herself. Like almost every child, she had heard the scary stories. How the ordeal was not short. Possibly hours of increasing pain while the victim roasted. How a scorched and swollen tongue would allow only strange, muffled pleas for mercy. "Ah, your reaction is precious," Wetron said. "I knew I had to witness it." Almost as if she were a titanic djinn, Sylvia pulled herself back together with a heave of mental effort. This swine would not get any of the satisfaction he craved. She spat in his face. A blend of both rigorous fantasy with the latest happenings in the world of science.

I am Levy Michaels. Once my kind were the hunters-now we are the hunted. Supernaturals are out of the closet but I have to stay hidden because of the type of magic I possess. I'm a Legacy. It sounds like the title should come with reverence, a trust fund, or at the very least a cool backstory-instead it comes with a death sentence. I have to hide in plain sight and pretend to be just human. I'm pretty good at it. I live a simple and somewhat normal life, and I work in antique acquisitions. Everything's going fine until a dangerous and enchanted dagger that was once in my possession is stolen. I didn't think things could get any worse until I woke up next to a dead shifter, fae, and mage, without any memory of the past twenty-four hours. Considered guilty of murder by most of the magical community and humans, I must work with Gareth, the sexy and dangerous leader of the Supernatural Guild. If he's as good as rumored, it's only a matter of time until he discovers the truth about me-then being found guilty of murder is the least of my worries.
