If he'd just died at his execution, none of this would have happened. If you love the heart-pounding, race-against-time treasure hunt of The Da Vinci Code, the glamorous past and ambitious downfall of The Great Gatsby, a heroine with the sexy, ethereal witchy vibes of Taylor Swift's "Willow," and a villain who practically owns the unforgettable bassline of Arctic Monkeys' "Do I Wanna Know?" then this plot twist-filled occult fantasy is for you.

LysetteYou know that feeling when you can't let someone go, no matter how complicated things get? That's me with Eíren. He's not just my past; he's my destiny.

As the bad blood between our covens intensifies, he's right there, daring me to choose power and him over my own coven and family. I'm supposed to be the leader here, but Eíren, the man I let go for my own sanity, thinks I'm the key to fixing the balance of magic.

It's tempting-dangerously so-because when it comes to him, my magic and my heart are always at war. BeatriceThree hundred years of babysitting duties, keeping Lysette clear from that power-hungry ex of hers, and what does she do? Has dinner with the bastard.

Great. I've been slashing his followers left and right-my own little vendetta-and it felt good.

Perfect, even. But no, Eíren just waltzes back in, showering her with gifts, playing the long-lost love.

He thinks he's slick, but I've unmasked him before, and I'll do it again. Time's ticking, and if he gets his grimy hands on that Ring of Hecate, we're all done for.

Over my dead body, I say. Let the games begin.

EírenMy entire life, I've been judged and condemned. First, as a lowly stable boy, then as the rebel king of Ireland, and now as a man cursed with dark magic.

But I see the light-my one true love, Lysette, coven master of the Circle of the White Orchid. She resists my progress toward accepting dark magic, drawn from the life force of mortals, seeing it as evil.

She even banished me from the coven, but she will never banish me from her heart. It's only a matter of time before she understands.

Enough time to convince her that with her as the queen of all witches, a global coven master, all magic users can embrace their power as it is born within them, both light and dark. And maybe then, I will finally be free.

Dominion of Magic is a gripping historical fantasy and occult thriller that delves into complex character dynamics, broken found family ties, and the high-stakes quest for power. This is book one in the Dominion of Magic duology.
