About the book
A thrilling urban fantasy debut
A gripping urban fantasy story kicks off as a young witch faces a daunting task: she must sacrifice her first love in order to protect her family's magical legacy. The catch? She has never experienced love before and must quickly find the right person to fulfill her destiny.
Having anticipated her Calling for years—a challenging test that all witches must undergo to unlock their full potential—Voya Thomas is shocked when she fails. However, when an ancestor offers her a rare chance to try again, she hesitantly agrees, only to discover that her second chance involves a heartbreaking dilemma: she must eliminate her own first love. The consequences of failure are dire, as it would result in the loss of magic for the entire Thomas bloodline.
Determined to safeguard her family's magical heritage at all costs, Voya embarks on a mission to find true love within a tight deadline. Luckily, a new genetic matchmaking service has recently emerged, offering her a glimmer of hope. Her strategy is to participate in the program, ignite a genuine romantic connection, and accomplish her fateful task in time. Nevertheless, she faces an unexpected hurdle when she is paired with the enigmatic Luc—who appears disinterested in forming a bond with her.
As the pressure intensifies from her relatives, Voya wrestles with the clash between her values and her allegiance to her lineage. To protect both her legacy and her budding feelings for Luc, she must uncover a secret that holds more importance to her ancestor than mere blood ties. And in the realm of sorcery, blood holds immense power.
