A wytch prone to chaos. A grieving, murderous vampyre. When hate turns to heat, can they work together to bring a loved one back from the dead? A wytch and a vampyre walk into a bar—except they don’t. It’s a cafe. And they almost kill each other first. But snap judgments never last. If only Jinn didn’t desperately need a wytch to cast a retraction spell, and Aisla Laxmi wasn’t the only one available for miles. The hate is still there, but so is something else. Something that’s way more complicated. As their forced partnership begins to feel a little less forced, the two start to believe they might actually have a chance at bringing a loved one back from the other side… Or do they? Four nights. Two powerful beings. One goal.

A vampyre with a vendetta. A wytch with everything to lose. Teaming up was never the goal, but falling in love? Even less so. Maia Rani Darsha has always known that Coven Layng would be hers to lead one day. Is she the best person for the job? No, but she’s the only one left.She thinks her position is secure until the High Coven intervenes with a new plan and a new leader for her ancestral coven. Their decree is leave or engage in a Trial of Ascension for the right to lead. Enter Raven—a vengeful vampyre who doesn’t think twice about staking her own mother through the heart. She’s unhinged, unpredictable, and a walking red flag. The dark shadow vamp has something Maia needs—a powerful wytch contact who can help her train for the Trial. Their deal is Raven’s contact for Maia’s blood. No strings, and definitely no emotions. But Maia soon discovers that some deals are inked in more than blood… Some are tattooed straight onto the heart.
