The Covenant of Shadows

When magic awakens, making its claim on her humanity, Gabrian loses control of her life and nearly her mind as she becomes a danger to everyone around her. The reality of the world she knows is torn apart. Stubborn and hell-bent on getting her life back, Gabrian makes a deal with a smooth-tongued devil who claims he can help her regain control. But she soon learns the cost might be higher than she could ever imagine.

Gabrian Shadwell is one of the most lethal and powerful supernatural beings on Earth. Her blood is one part silver mage and the other vampire. The problem is she has no idea she even has it. When her magic surfaces and makes its claim on her, Gabrian loses control of her life and becomes a danger to everyone around her. The world she knows turns upside down and fills with chaos. Stubborn and hell-bent on getting her life back, she makes a deal with a smooth-tongued devil who claims he can help her gain control.

After surviving a near-fatal kidnapping, Gabrian is determined to pick up the sordid pieces of her life or at least she is trying to. But somewhere in the chaos something has gone awry. Her ability to turn off the cravings is broken - leaving her victim to a body meant to run on instinct for survival, a body constructed to reap fear within the Realm. Now Gabrian must test the strength of her will and harness in the unrelenting urge to feed in order to secure her Elders trust or risk becoming the monster that lurks within.

Her last breath on this Earth was taken weeks ago. Her death - a Crime of passion. But her re-birth will seal her destiny. Gabrian Shadwell has now entered into the afterworld but her heart still clings to those she left behind. When given the chance to return to her old life on a mission to restore balance, she takes it. But the fare is high. Stripped bare of her gifts and left mere flesh on bones, Gabrian faces her darkest hours.
