Asa agrees to help find Ben on one Mattie must use her uncommon talent to assist his smuggling operations. Asa has the power to sense magic, and he realizes Mattie is a reliquary, someone with the rare ability to carry magic within her own body, undetected. Determined to find out who took Ben and why, Mattie immerses herself in a shadowy underworld and comes face-to-face with the darkly alluring Asa Ward, a rogue magic dealer, infamous hustler…and her missing fiancé’s estranged brother. It’s wildly addictive, capable of producing everything from hellish anguish to sensual ecstasy almost beyond human endurance. But when her fiancé, Ben, is violently abducted the next morning, her desperate quest to find him rips her away from small-town life and reveals a shattering magic is real-and Ben is hooked. Mattie Carver’s engagement party should have marked the start of her own personal fairy tale.
