Tana Fairchild’s fate has been planned out for her since the day she was born: marry the governor’s son and secure an unprecedented alliance between the witches and the mainlanders. But then she meets Wolfe, a member of the only remaining coven left practicing dark magic. When unknown magic builds in Tana’s body and she’s unable to expel the magic on her own, she begs Wolfe for help. And she’s horrified to discover how naturally dark magic comes to her. Tana throws herself into her courtship with Landon, the key to the alliance the witches have worked so hard for. But Tana can’t stop thinking about Wolfe. And as the tide grows fiercer, and the witches’ relationship with the mainlanders more tenuous, Tana has to decide what’s most important to her: love, or duty?
