A rich, dark urban fantasy debut following a teen witch who is given a horrifying task: sacrificing her first love to save her familyβs magic. The problem is, sheβs never been in loveβsheβll have to find the perfect guy before she can kill him.
After years of waiting for her Callingβa trial every witch must pass in order to come into their powersβthe one thing Voya Thomas didnβt expect was to fail. When Voyaβs ancestor gives her an unprecedented second chance to complete her Calling, she agreesβand then is horrified when her task is to kill her first love. And this time, failure means every Thomas witch will be stripped of their magic.
Voya is determined to save her familyβs magic no matter the cost. The problem is, Voya has never been in love, so for her to succeed, sheβll first have to find the perfect guyβand fast. Fortunately, a genetic matchmaking program has just hit the market. Her plan is to join the program, fall in love, and complete her task before the deadline. What she doesnβt count on is being paired with the infuriating Lucβhow can she fall in love with a guy who seemingly wants nothing to do with her?
With mounting pressure from her family, Voya is caught between her morality and her duty to her bloodline. If she wants to save their heritage and Luc, sheβll have to find something her ancestor wants more than blood. And in witchcraft, blood is everything.
