Welcome to Blood Haven. Magic has returned, reshaping the modern world. Unfortunately, it's not all love potions and broomsticks. A thirst for power has awoken; only the strong will prevail. Killian is just trying to survive in this frightening new world, and it is not easy. His mentor is killed, his best friend steals the woman he loves, and, to top it all off, he is tricked into looking after Lucas, a boy who has been kept in a cage his whole life. Killian soon realizes Lucas is more powerful than anyone...and people are after him. To save them both, Killian must unravel the mystery of Lucas's past. With murderous cults and secret agents hot on their trail, however, it won't be easy. But then, nothing ever is in Blood Haven.
