Ilona Andrews, #1 New York Times bestselling
author, continues her spellbinding series set in the Hidden Legacy world where
magic controls everything…except the hearts of those who wield it.
As Prime magic users, Catalina Baylor and
her sisters have extraordinary powers—powers their ruthless grandmother would
love to control. Catalina can earn her

that has risks as well. When House Baylor is under attack and monsters haunt
her every step, Catalina is forced to rely on handsome, dangerous Alessandro
Sagredo, the Prime who crushed her heart.
The
nightmare that Alessandro has fought since childhood has come roaring back to
life, but now Catalina is under threat. Not even his lifelong quest for revenge
will stop him from keeping her safe, even if every
battle could be his last. Because Catalina won't rest until she stops the use
of the illicit, power-granting serum that's tearing their world
apart.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Andrew's whirlwind fifth Hidden Legacy romance (after Sapphire Flames) opens with a bang and maintains a breakneck pace, dealing in magic that rouses and entertains. After Felix Morton, the heir to House Morton, one of several dynastic magical families, is found dead, prime mage Catalina Baylor takes the case. The Head of House Baylor, Catalina recently (and reluctantly) became Deputy to the Warden of Texas and hopes this position within magical law enforcement will protect her and her sisters from their scheming grandmother. Catalina suspects Felix's murderer to be one of four representatives of the other magical Houses that Felix was working with on a reclamation project, but before she can question them, her investigation is derailed by prime mage Alessandro Sagredo, the man who broke her heart. The alluring Alessandro just happens to be working the same case and the pair must find a way to work together to catch the murderer while fending off attacks from magically powered mechanical monsters. Andrew's worldbuilding is world-class, and the banter between Catalina and Alessandro sings. New readers will have no trouble jumping in with this installment and series fans will not be disappointed.
