Thriller Paranormal - Supernatural | Fantasy
Where we love, we ruin… Some families hand down wealth through generations; some
hand down wisdom. Some families, whether they want to or
not, hand down the secret burdens they carry and the
dangerous debts they owe. Lissa Nevsky's grandmother leaves her a big, empty house,
and a legacy of magic: folk magic, old magic, brought with
Baba when she fled the Gulag. In the wake of her passing,
the Russian community of Toronto will depend on Lissa now,
to give them their remedies and be their koldun'ia. But
Lissa hasn't had time to learn everything Baba wanted to
teach her—let alone the things Baba kept hidden. Maksim Volkov's birth family is long dead, anything they
bestowed on him long turned to dust. What Maksim carries now
is a legacy of violence, and he does not have to die to pass
it on. When Maksim feels his protective spell fail, he
returns to the witch he rescued from the Gulag, only to find
his spell has died along with the one who cast it. Without
the spell, it is only a matter of time before Maksim's
violent nature slips its leash and he infects someone
else—if he hasn't done so already. Nick Kaisaris is just a normal dude who likes to party. He
doesn't worry about family drama. He doesn't have any
secrets. All he wants is for things to stay like they are
right now, tonight: Nick and his best buddy Jonathan, out on
the town. Only Nick is on a collision course with Maksim
Volkov, and what he takes away from this night is going to
crack open Nick's nature until all of his worst self comes
to light. Lissa's legacy of magic might hold the key to Maksim's
salvation, if she can unravel it in time. But it's a legacy
that comes at a price. And Maksim might not want to be saved…
