Lady Gemma Ashbourne seems to have it all. She is young, beautiful and rich. Your family has been anointed by the gods, blessed with incredible abilities. But beneath her bright facade, Gemma is deeply sad. Years ago, her sister Mara was taken to Middlemist to protect herself from treacherous magic. His mother abandoned the family. Her father and older sister, Farrin - embroiled in a deadly blood feud with the mysterious Bask family - often forget Gemma exists.

Worst of all, Gemma is the only Ashbourne who doesn't have magic. Instead, your body fights it as if it were poison. Constantly ill, suffering from loneliness, Gemma longs for love and wants to belong to her family.

Then she meets the devastatingly handsome Talan d'Astier. His family was destroyed, seduced by a demon, and Talan, the only survivor, is determined to redeem his honor. Intrigued and enchanted, Gemma proposes a deal: She will help Talan navigate high society if he helps her destroy the Basks. According to popular legend, a demon called The Man with the Three-Eyed Crown is behind the blood feud between the families - kill the demon, end the feud.

But attacks on Middlemist are increasing. The conspiracy against the Basks quickly becomes uncontrollable. And something immense and terrifying is awakening in Gemma, drawing her inexorably towards Talan and towards a passion that could destroy her - or finally show her the true strength of her power.
