Amara Finch is running out of time. Years ago, she hid her magical features to conceal her identity as a witch during a passionate one-night stand with a dangerous stranger. Fleeing to the human world, she gave birth to a daughter who inherited an explosive combination of both parents' powers—a child whose rare abilities could ultimately save or destroy the world, making her a prime target for ruthless human hunters and supernatural syndicates alike. The delicate peace shatters when her three-year-old daughter, Lily, detects an encroaching danger and waddles her way directly to the one entity capable of tracking the threat: Valerius Wolfe, a hot, intimidating vampire-lycan hybrid who rules the city’s underworld. The moment Valerius locks eyes with the little girl, he notices an uncanny physical resemblance and uses his immense resources to hunt down her mother. To his shock, he finds the very woman he slept with years ago, instantly thrusting Amara back into his possessive orbit. But their reunion is a minefield of deadly secrets. While Valerius demands answers, Lily intentionally plays dumb to keep her staggering powers hidden from the clan members desperate to control her. As Amara navigates a dangerous web of ancient trials, death traps, and a treacherous aunt and cousin determined to steal her birthright as the true heir to the Sovereign Witches' Clan, she must protect her daughter's royal shadow-aura. When a private confrontation forces a massive reveal, Amara must decide if submitting to the hybrid king will save her family or ruin them completely.
