What happens when the Nightshade Guild loses their magick? Chaos. Self-discoveries. And illumination of sinister plots. Marik senses the dark and nefarious blight lingering on the edges of the magickal world. Something wicked stalks them while his loyalties are torn between Nic and the Elven Kingdom. But he has faith in the Nightshade Guild. Nicoletta Dean wasn’t prepared for the day her magick failed. And it doesn’t help that an unexpected attack ends in disaster. A friend is wounded and her familiar is critically injured. But don’t count her out yet. An enemy from Stetson’s past poses a threat to everything he loves. With time out of sorts, and his memory muddled, he remains loyal to Nic, revealing a secret that could end in catastrophe. The stakes are dangerous, lives are in the balance, but what else is new? It’s just another adventure as a Nightshade Guild mage.
