A witch tried to steal Nova's magic after discovering it was bound - inked into her skin with a binding spell. The only person who might know what it was is her mother which meant she'd been keeping that secret from Nova all her life. Dex took Nova back home and learned that it was demon magic she'd stolen as a child. The very same demon who had tried to take her and who had murdered her sister. The witch who tried to steal that magic was dead, but there was a chance she hadn’t been working alone. Finding out who she’d been working with, or for, was of the utmost importance. There was just one problem, the Council had decided that Nova was taking too long to finish her mission, and to speed up the process they sent another hunter – her ex, Zane. This is a steamy, paranormal romance and is NOT a reverse harem, but heavily features characters that are non-binary, LGBTQIA, and mental illness. This story is set within the Council of Paranormals universe. It is a standalone story and can be read without having read anything else. There is almost zero character crossover within this story except one major player.
