Nevada Baylor is faced with the
most challenging case of her detective career-a suicide mission to bring in a
suspect in a volatile case. Nevada isn’t sure she has the chops. Her quarry is
a Prime, the highest rank of magic user, who can set anyone and anything on
fire.
Then she’s kidnapped by Connor
“Mad” Rogan-a darkly tempting billionaire with equally devastating powers. Torn
between wanting to run or surrender to their overwhelming attraction, Nevada
must join forces with Rogan to stay alive.
Rogan’s after the same target, so
he needs Nevada. But she’s getting under his skin, making him care about
someone other than himself for a change. And, as Rogan has learned, love can be
as perilous as death, especially in the magic world.
Excerpt
In 1863, in a world much like our own, European
scientists discovered Osiris serum, a concoction which brought out one’s magic
talents. These talents were many and varied. Some people gained ability to
command animals, some learned to sense water from miles away, and others suddenly
realized they could kill their enemies by generating a burst of lightning
between their hands. The serum spread through the world. It was given to
soldiers in hopes of making the military forces more deadly. It was obtained by
members of fading aristocracy, desperate to hold on to power. It was bought by
the rich, who desired to get richer.
Eventually
the world realized
the consequences of awakening godlike powers in ordinary
people. The serum was locked away, but it was too late. The magic talents
passed on from parents to their children and changed the course of human
history forever. The future of entire nations changed in the span of a few
short decades. Those who previously married for status, money, and power now
married for magic, because strong magic would give them everything.
Now, a century and a half later, families with
strong hereditary magic have evolved into dynasties. These families—Houses, as
they call themselves—own corporations, have their own territories within the
cities, and influence politics. They employ private armies, they feud with each
other, and their disputes are deadly. It is a world where the more magic you
have, the more powerful, the wealthier, and the more prominent you are. Some
magic talents are destructive. Some are subtle. But no magic user should be
taken lightly.
About the Author
“Ilona Andrews” is the pseudonym
for a husband-and-wife writing team. Ilona is a native-born Russian and Gordon
is a former communications sergeant in the U.S. Army.
Contrary to popular belief,
Gordon was never an intelligence officer with a license to kill, and Ilona was
never the mysterious Russian spy who seduced him.
They met in college, in English
Composition 101, where Ilona got a better grade. (Gordon is still sore about
that.) They have co-authored two New York Times and USA Today bestselling
series, the urban fantasy of Kate Daniels and the romantic urban fantasy of The
Edge and are working on the next volumes for both.
They live in Texas with their two
children and many dogs and cats.
