Publisher Description

Three sisters keep a book of black magic safe from the world…until the book and one of the sisters disappear.

For centuries, Phoebe Whelan's family of witches and mages has guarded the Book of Sindal, a tome filled with spells so evil it could destroy the world.

After their parents' death six years ago, it's up to Phoebe and her older and younger sisters—Rowan and Celeste—to guard the book with their magic and their supernaturally fortified land.

But Celeste's expression magic is wild and untamed, and without their mother's calming influence, Celeste is slowly going mad.

When the book—and Celeste—go missing, the Valarian Small Council believes Celeste stole the deadly book of spells.

When they assign Captain Brandon Cassidy, the head of the Magical Protective Force and Phoebe's former high school crush, to look for book, and things get a whole lot more complicated.

Soon it becomes apparent a dark force has taken the book, which will only open with the blood of all three Whelans.

The Dark Set has the strongest sister, now it needs the blood of the other two.

Brandon's mission quickly changes to include her protection, but Phoebe's goal has remained the same—find the book and her sister, prove Celeste's innocence, and let nothing get in her way, including her reawakened feelings for the man at her side.
