A warlock on a mission is dangerous. A frustrated warlock with ancient power is lethal. Inducted into the Numinous Council church order at just twenty-one, Magnus blew past every single one of his peers. He thought his life was completely set. He was the golden boy, everything his mentor, Gereld, could have ever hoped for. And when Magnus was finally inducted into the secret, elite Arvantes' Brotherhood? That was the crowning achievement. His magic surged to heights he never dreamed possible. At least, that's what he thought back then. Now, ten years later, Magnus has a serious difference of opinion.Despite his skills far surpassing even the most powerful Numinous Elders, he has been stuck at the exact same rank for a decade. Sick of the gatekeeping and corporate supernatural B.S., Magnus decides to take his destiny into his own hands. He lights the forbidden Crepis candle, unleashing a pitch-black spell to Malik to claim the power he deserves. But dealing with dark entities isn't a game.

Right when the shadows are closing in to collect his soul, Magnus unexpectedly crashes into her. Emmalinda Deveroux is a storm all on her own, and she isn't easily impressed by a desperate warlock.With a dark deity hunting his head and his soul on the line, Magnus is running out of options. Will Emmalinda be the ultimate salvation he's been praying for... or will she be the final temptation that destroys him for good? For a full list of content levels, please visit the author's official website.
