From bestselling author Thea Harrison comes the first in an explosive new trilogy set in the Elder Races world....
Her past is a blank, her future uncertain....
Recovering from a shooting, LAPD witch consultant Sophie Ross leaves her job and travels to the U.K. to search for answers about her childhood. When she encounters a Daoine Sidhe knight of the Dark Court, she becomes entangled in an ancient hatred between two arcane forces.
He has given his body and soul to fight for his people....
Barred from his homeland along with his surviving brother knights, Nikolas Sevigny is embroiled in a conflict that threatens everything he holds dear. Only by uniting his people's resources can they hope to prevail against Isabeau, the deadly Queen of the Light Court. He will do anything and use anyone to return home to Lyonesse.
When Nikolas encounters Sophie, he sees a tool to be used. The insouciant witch might be the key to unlocking every passageway that has been barred to the knights of the Dark Court, even as a fascination for her takes root in what's left of his soul.
Sophie has no intention of becoming anyone's pawn, yet the fierce Nikolas is so compelling, she can't deny the temptation that endangers her guarded heart.
As magic threatens Lyonesse, Queen Isabeau unleashes her merciless Hounds, and Nikolas and Sophie become embroiled in a race for survival. Meanwhile, the passion that ignites between them burns too hot to be denied and quickly turns into obsession.
Thank goodness they both know better than to fall in love...

In the Thea Harrison’s the Elder Race series you know that the biggest baddest baddie of them all is the hero of the series Dragos, the dragon that has lived since the beginning of time. Everyone else is pretty minor. So there maybe threats in the primary Elder race series but the laying field is not even. In her new spin off series the characters are still tied to the Elder race but their blood is muddled with puny human blood and humans can bleed and die. The playing field is more even as the hero Nikolas and his band of non merry men are trapped here on earth, where they encounter LAPD witch cop Sophie Ross, who is hunting up her clouded past in Britain. The plot deals with the Dark Fae and their evil Queen’s hounds which were first introduced in the novella Pia Does Hollywood. In this trilogy dangerous magic abounds and great harm is biting on the heels of both Sophie and the out of place hero Nikolas. Even though this story takes place in the same universe as the Elder Race series, the story is very fresh, and the playing field is completely new.

Neither Nikolas or Sophie are from previous Elder Race books so new readers don’t have any learning curve.

The next book is SpellBound, Moonshadow Book 2,  which is coming summer 2017.

This book was published directly by the author and readers should know that Harrison’s quality is as always high as ever.

About Thea Harrison

I write paranormal romance, urban fantasy, and other stuff. I taught myself to read when I was four. That was around the time I tried to ride my tricycle to work. I wasn’t sure where work was, but I knew it had to be interesting if people went there every day. Now I combine my love of books with work, and I don’t have to ride my tricycle to get there. My Elder Races series began May, 2011.
