Familiar Fate

In Emberwick Crossing, where ancient magic pulses beneath modern facades, Sage Holland thought she had seen the worst of the magical underworld. She was wrong. Fresh from vanquishing a necromancer, Sage Holland thought her biggest problem would be hiding her forbidden romance with the hunky warlock next door. But as she delves deeper into the mystery surrounding her parents' deaths, she uncovers a truth more frightening than any dark spell – corruption at the highest levels of magical authority. Forced to hide her forbidden romance with Brad and armed only with her cat, her design magic, and a mysteriously powerful artifact, Sage must traverse a traitorous landscape of lies and betrayal. Every step brings her closer to answers, but also nearer to danger. With allies turning to enemies and trusted mentors revealing hidden agendas, Sage realizes that in a world where magic and secrecy intertwine, the greatest threat may come from those sworn to protect. As the shadows lengthen and the stakes rise, Sage must make an impossible choice: preserve the world she knows, or risk everything to forge a new future.
