But when the magic that should have been her birthright never came, rage and humiliation drove her into a reckless rebellion. She lost everything: her coven, her pride, and her marriage.<\/p>\n<p>Years later, she\u2019s built a quiet life in the Pacific Northwest, distant from all things magic. She\u2019s a portrait painter, a big sister, loving aunt, and ex-wife. And that was enough. It had to be.<\/p>\n<p>Until a convicted warlock, desperate to escape his fate, forces his magic into her. But warlock magic is lethal to witches, a slow death. As the power manifests, Adeline knows she\u2019s running out of time. With no other option, she turns to the last person she ever wanted to face again: the priestess who exiled her. A woman she despises.<\/p>\n<p>But the priestess\u2019s help comes at a price. Assigned to protect her is Luke Churchwell, a brooding runecaster with his own secrets\u2014secrets that tie him to the warlock who cursed her. The deeper Adeline is pulled into the coven\u2019s hunt for the rogue warlock, the more she realizes her greatest threat may not be the magic inside her\u2026 but the man assigned to guard her.<\/p>\n<p><strong>If you love the dark magic of Rachel Griffin, the sharp dialogue of V.E.
