Description

Serpent and Dove meets A Discovery of Witches in this magical, forbidden romance debut.

He was an Empyreal, her greatest threat, her greatest fascination. Everything shed been warned against. And yet she wanted him, still.
Nicole Palmers secret powers are invaluable. As an Empyreal, she harbours the ability to destroy dangerous creatures, an ability The Wake -a shadowy organisation that governs all supernatural creatures- will stop at no lengths to weaponize. Dormant for now, Nicole knows if her powers were to be triggered shed suffer the same deadly fate as her mother.

To stay safe from The Wake and find a final encoded message from her mother, Nicole secures a role researching the supernatural art collection at the local Cornish manor. But when Kyan McCarter, The Wakes most skilled Empyreal and perhaps Nicoles greatest enemy, is stationed there to track a deadly creature, they are forced to work together to stop a painting falling into the wrong hands.

As their hunt for the creature progresses,it threatens to expose Nicoles powers, and her tenuous alliance with Kyan begins to threaten her heart. If Nicoles true identity is revealed, Kyan will hunt her next. No one disobeys The Wake and survives. Especially when the art theyre seeking could hold the key to a conspiracy that would change the lives of creatures and humans forever
