*This is an NA/Adult Paranormal Romance due to mature content* **Nominated for 2016 UtopiaCon Award** Rylen Duncan, a badass warlock, is running out of time. Given five years to prove himself as the leader of a supernatural crime syndicate in the Pacific Northwest, Rylen and his pseudo swat team of unorthodox villains wreaked havoc trying to prove their loyalty to the head of the entire network—the Black Widow. Now, Rylen's about to face his biggest battle yet. Magic users around the area are slowly being hunted by a private organization intent on stripping them of their “unnatural” powers to restore them to their “proper” human state. Rylen and his team: a vampire, shifter brothers, a ninja witch, a transporter, and an Oracle must take the fight to the enemy’s door, but Rylen can’t shake the twist of caution that haunts him… he is being quietly stalked… by a girl, a human girl. Who is she? Why is she following him? As pieces of the puzzle begin to fall into place, each should know the side they belong to. But thoughts and actions are challenged. Will Rylen figure it out before not only his entire team is doomed, but the girl who captures his heart is as well? “Oh what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive.”
