I am Vivian of the Shian lineage, and I am a witch. Long ago, my grandmother cursed the mage Desmond Laird, and now his son, Graig, is planning revenge. I need to get into the Laird castle and take the crystal of my line to save my sister’s life—and not lose my own. My meeting with the mage is inevitable, and its consequences are unpredictable. I’ll have to decide what’s more important to me: duty or feelings. And can love defeat the thirst for blood?
