‘You should kill it. Now. While you still can.’
Caelum Bones, heir to the wealthiest and most powerful family in Magical England, appears rich, powerful, completely untouchable. All of Magique worships the ground his father walks upon, which is unsurprising, given how much of that ground his family owns.
Caelum’s life, from the outside at least, looks like a commoner’s fairytale.
But secrets lurk in the shadowy halls of the famed Bones estate, The Black Tower. His father, Malefic Bones, proudly shoulders a legacy of dark magic with a greater purpose, that of reuniting two estranged worlds into one glorious empire.
Caelum is his chosen weapon. But Caelum’s mask begins to slip when he finally meets someone who can see past it. Leda Shadow, the least likely person imaginable, can’t bring herself to leave him alone, even when he does everything in his power to convince her.
Unfortunately, it will probably get her killed.
