“Sydney Sage is an Alchemist, one of a group of humans who dabble in magic
and serve to bridge the worlds of humans and vampires. They protect vampire
secrets–and human lives.”
In the aftermath of a forbidden moment that rocked Sydney to her core, she finds
herself struggling to draw the line between her Alchemist teachings and what her
heart is urging her to do. Then she meets alluring, rebellious Marcus Finch–a
former Alchemist who escaped against all odds, and is now on the run. Marcus
wants to teach Sydney the secrets he claims the Alchemists are hiding from her.
But as he pushes her to rebel against the people who raised her, Sydney finds
that breaking free is harder than she thought. There is an old and mysterious
magic rooted deeply within her. And as she searches for an evil magic user
targeting powerful young witches, she realizes that her only hope is to embrace
her magical blood–or else she might be next.
