The Coven is in turmoil. Three casters escaped from their cells and have cursed Master Stone’s chosen and their unborn child. They killed an unsuspecting soldier before they were dispatched by Master Stone and his right-hand man Cullen Volakis. The Coven now must figure out how to break the curse before it takes the life of the unborn heir to the Crimson Coven. Tobias Yates has spent the last twenty years serving on the Vampire Council, but has returned home to find his beloved coven shaken to its core. Cullen finds a solution to their problems. A Sorcerer of great power can break the curse, but only for a price. Tobias, a man who hates anyone and anything practising magic must now act as bodyguard for this mystical man. Tobias’s parents were murdered by a witch, and he has spent his life making every caster he can find pay for her crimes. The Sorcerer he must now guard is more than meets the eye and Tobias finds himself yearning for the slender young man. Could this be his chosen? Can he make a life with this man or will his prejudice destroy everything before it can even begin?

Lucian Lemaire is the only Sorcerer left walking the earth. At the age of nineteen he is parentless and alone, but for a woman with a heart of stone acting as his guardian, although she acts more like a pimp. She extracts money out of people requiring the extraordinary magic that only a Sorcerer can provide. After his Father’s death, he bound Lucian to this woman, Joan Clinesmith, to repay a moral debt. He must serve her as long as she walks the earth. Lucian is a man trapped in a gilded prison. When he arrives at the Crimson Coven to rid them of their curse he is met by suspicion and hostility, two things he has come to expect from his life. He would love nothing more than to experience the kind of respect and love the Crimson Coven has for each other, but as long as Joan Clinesmith pulls his strings he is nothing but her marionette. Tobias Yates is the only one who can break through and reach his heart, but he can feel the hate and the anger beneath Tobias’ guarded exterior. Do these two have a chance at forever love? Or will pride, duty, and prejudice once again ruin everything?
