Be wary of the voice that calls to you from the shadows. Katherine Woodrow is a Fey, and all she wants is to graduate from the Institute of Magic. But when the prejudiced Council threaten her position at the Institute, she is left with only one option: accept a Mage Partnership with the elusive Lord Blackthorn of Blackthorn Manor, and complete her education under his mentorship. But Emrys Blackthorn isn't one for classrooms, he believes in practical education. Katherine is thrown into a world of dark magic, and faced with hideous monsters that threaten Fey like her. But the sudden return of dark magic isn't the only mystery Katherine needs to solve. Emrys Blackthorn, with his stormy eyes and unpredictable ways, presents a challenge. A Mage Partnership has strict rules: boundaries can't be crossed. But the man of the shadows calls to Katherine, and ignoring that call might be her greatest challenge yet.

Be careful of the dark and those that call it friend.

Katherine Woodrow is fey, and all she wants is to graduate from the Institute of Magic. But when the prejudiced mortal council threaten her position at the institute, she is left with only one option: accept a Mage Partnership with the elusive Lord Blackthorn.

Emrys Blackthorn is a riddle Kat is fearful of solving. The mysterious, cursed war hero with his stormy eyes and unpredictable ways leaves Kat with more questions than answers. What she does know is that she is irresistibly drawn to him . . . no matter how forbidden it might be.

When a string of murders and fey disappearances herald the return of dark magic, Kat and Emrys are thrown into a world of ancient books that hide hideous monsters, dark fiends who play with nightmares and mortal men who wish nothing more than to see them both burn.

But what haunts them both are secrets even ghosts dare not whisper, while insidious shadows lick their teeth and sharpen their claws, waiting for the moment that all tales will come to light - even the monstrous ones.
