Those are my monsters, to be beaten with my magic. I don’t need his unsolicited, and very unwanted help.
I know what I am doing. But this man has to jump in as if I need his help. Maybe the monster’s claws are right in my face, I’m fine. But he laughs at me and flexes his magic.
He can have magic, I also do, but I have never seen his type of magic. Apparently, if I want to save more people from the monsters quicker, I have to work with him. Can I not?
What if I get caught working with him?

Ready for an action-packed urban fantasy story with a slow-burn romantic subplot that fans of The Dresden Files and Jessica Jones will love? These snarky and fun characters are waiting for you.

A new magic, a new target on her back.
Maybe Lia can fight monsters, but can she fight what is in her blood? When the claws try to kill her, she can fight them with magic, but when her magic threatens to swallow her alive, her options are limited.
Apparently, Adrian isn’t the only one who has an eye on her. When she is still figuring out what he wants, someone else is here. They want her life.
Adrian said he is here to help. Why does he insist on helping? Nothing comes free, right? But she still wants to stay alive, so she will take his help for now. Except… Adrian’s secret threatens to bring both of them into bigger trouble.

No secret can be kept forever. Not Lia’s, not Adrian’s.
Lia should know better, her magic is going to show itself and her team isn’t blind. Joining the club of magicians that shouldn’t exist is no fun.
Now that her magic stops trying to kill her, her team is, or can start to hunt her down in no time. As soon as they know… She may not want to know what will happen.
Adrian is going to stop that from happening, he will do everything to make sure Lia is safe. But she is not going to like his plan. He really should stop acting like he is the only one exists in her world. She has her own friends and her team to protect.

More hands on deck, or more troubles awaiting?
Maybe Adrian’s people respect him, but it won’t translate into respect for Lia. And if not translating is the only problem, she will be having it great.
Her mentor doesn’t like the deal either, not to mention there are more magicians than Lia had known about. Lia’s existence is trouble for them.
Those after Lia’s life are still here. There is nothing they won’t do to see her dead.
Where exactly is her enemy again?

It is now or never.
Maybe Lia has magic, those who want her dead also have it. She can try to get ready for the battle to come, but how much preparation is enough?
She can fight, but what is she fighting against? For her life? To snap out of the past that won’t let go? Before people she cares about are dead?
There is no hiding, everything will go full circle. Nothing can be hidden forever.

When the vampire leader turns out dead, it can be the trade of a lifetime, or it can cost Adrian’s life.
He will capitalize on everything. But what makes a good trade?
No stone shall remain unturned and no penny shall remain safe in others’ hands.
He is in search of more influence and more money. What else will there be for him to pursue?

This is an alternative point of view book with events preceding Rise of Magic. You are advised to start according to the indicated series order. An urban fantasy story with magic, vampires, monsters, and something more.
