A long-lost heir to dark magic royalty. A brutal power she never wanted. But these villains aren’t giving her a choice.

When mages slaughter my parents in front of me, I have no time to mourn. The murderers drag me into a society of dark magic where power is created by fear.

It turns out I’m the long-lost heir to one of their royal families—guaranteed to possess a talent even more vicious than most. And I’m trapped here until I accept my role.

But I don’t want these wicked skills I have no idea how to tap into. I don’t want the mansion or the fancy clothes or the massive bank account I inherited.

I especially don’t want the attention of my fellow heirs: four scorching-hot, arrogant men who rule this place and crush anyone who doesn’t kowtow.

All I really want is my family back… but I can’t have that. So I’ll take what I can get to avenge the people I loved.

The moment I master the dark power inside me, I’m burning this place to the ground.

When Maria Varela first made detective, more than a few cops called her a nepo-baby behind her back. Sure, having a legendary detective for a father hadn’t hurt her career, but he was retired, and the one closing cases was her, not him. Eventually all the arrests silenced even the loudest of the doubters.

Then a long dormant serial killer murders her brother.

Last seen in 1983, the Desert Saint killed five people. All shot twice in the head with the same gun. All with a token placed on the left hand. The best efforts of law enforcement to solve the murders had failed, and when the killings stopped, Las Vegas moved on. Now, only retired cops and the family members of the victims even remember who the Desert Saint was.

So why return now? And why kill her brother?

Capturing a killer no one else could is a hard enough task.

Figuring out why the Desert Saint came for her brother might tear Maria’s life
