I helped the Four Horsemen save the world, but I can’t save my own life. I’m Syv. I like to collect sharp weapons, and my favourite activity is liberating magical items. My best friend is an immortal fae, and I love dogs. I’m not enthusiastic about end of the world scenarios. Okay, I’m a half-demon thief with an attitude that brings me more enemies than friends. But the fae part is true. My life had returned to normal, but everything changed when my latest assignment ended in disaster. Somebody took the item I was ‘liberating’ and also decided to curse me with a death mark. If I don’t find the cure soon, I’m facing life as a lich under the control of a necromancer. And I swear the demonic dog I rescued from the apocalypse is following me. Now, three sexy supernatural guys have tracked me down in need of my ability to detect magic. They want to recruit me to work alongside them and under their protection. The guys need me to locate an item and also claim they know someone who can find a cure for my mark. So, we strike a deal: I’ll help them if they help me. The problem is, I’m not sure I trust their so-called ‘secret organisation’. Another problem? They’re on the Four Horsemen’s hit list because they shouldn’t be in this world. As my death is imminent and options limited, I’ve agreed to leave with them tonight. But if they murder me, I’m going to be really pissed off. Don't miss this new series from the world of The Four Horsemen, LJ Swallow's addictive bestselling reverse harem series. Held by Magic is a slow burn reverse harem urban fantasy.

Elements of Magic is the second book in the the Demon's Covenant series. Held by Magic must be read first. Full description coming soon. This reverse harem urban fantasy series is filled with fast-paced supernatural action, magic, adventure and romance, all led by a kickass heroine with a very British sense of humour. These books are set in the world of LJ Swallow's The Four Horsemen series but with different characters and a separate storyline. The two can be read separately.
