It isn’t easy being the Witches’ Champion, especially
when it’s a hereditary position and you’re hardly
the most powerful witch of your line.  Thalia Kent has
managed to cope so far with wit and nerve and every
ounce of magical ability she possesses, but now her
cousin, who wasn’t a witch, is dead -- murdered by a
rogue vampire -- and if she’s going to hunt him down
and survive, she’s going to need all the help she can get.
She needs Gideon Damek, immortal vampire, but
vampires shun witches for good reason, witch blood
is poisonous.

Gideon Damek has fought his predatory nature for
thousands of years and the last thing he wants is to
team up with anyone, least of all a beautiful young
witch.  Still, something about Thalia compels him
to agree.

Soon, Thalia must deal with a reluctant partner, a
rebellious witch community, interfering police, a healthy
dose of self-doubt, a raging passion for the forbidden
Mr. Damek and an enemy who’s following an ancient
prophecy that requires both their deaths, all without
losing her neck, or her heart.
