I never imagined Considine Maledictus—one of the most powerful vampires alive—would go from ruling the streets at night to joining the supernatural task force just to become my partner, but here we are.

I start my new life by joining the Magiford supernatural task force, which exists to protect humans and supernaturals from harmful magic.
