Burn Marks

In a modern world–where witches are burned at the stake–two lives intersect.

Glory. She’s descended from a long line of powerful witches. The power of the fae is all she’s wanted for as long as she remember.

Lucas. His father is the Chief Prosecutor for the Inquisition. All he’s ever wanted is to hunt witches.

The fae appears as a dark spot on the skin. Like a kiss from the devil. And for Glory and Lucas, it appears almost simultaneously. Lucas will report himself to the Inquisition immediately.  Glory will keep her fae a secret from the authorities. But is it illegal gangs that hold the real power over the witching world. And it is through them that Lucas and Glory will be drawn together…whether they like it or not.
