Only the dangerous survive the binding. She’ll risk her magic and heart to protect the ones she can’t afford to lose. Zoey Halinger has one keep her head down and her secret buried. As far as anyone knows, she’s a licensed Medium, hired to help the city’s supernatural homicide division speak to the dead. But Zoey’s magic doesn’t just listen—it controls. And in a world where necromancy is illegal, she’s spent her whole life pretending to be something she’s not. When a string of magical murders shakes the city, Zoey’s tightly controlled life starts to unravel. Her dangerous powers are waking up, and so is the truth behind them. She thought she was cursed. She was something far worse… and far more powerful. Now, with her secret hanging by a thread, Zoey finds herself surrounded by three very different men who seem just as drawn to her as they are A vampire boss who watches her too closely. A kraken healer with quiet hands and a protective streak. And a sharp-tongued oni detective with ancestral magic in his blood and loyalty that cuts deep. The deeper they dig into the case, the more Zoey realizes something monstrous is circling her past—and what it wants could tear her apart from the inside out. Because the magic she’s been hiding? It’s only the beginning.
