Leaf Evergreen was born into a family of witches with a terrible secret: any son born to them carries a dark destiny. The only male witch in 800 years, he's shunned by his powerful clan and lives quietly in Richmond, Kentucky, working in wildlife rescue alongside his longtime girlfriend.
But when an alluring sorceress discovers the cursed potential within him, she awakens something Leaf never knew he possessed - dark magic, forbidden power, and the devastating belief that she is his true fated mate. Torn between love and destiny, Leaf makes an impossible choice that will cost him everything he never knew he could lose.
As the sorceress leads him toward a dangerous ritual at a hellmouth outside Mount Sterling, Leaf embraces the darkness within. But the price of power is steeper than he imagined, and the final revelation will shatter what's left of his humanity, transforming him into a threat to the entire supernatural world.
A gritty urban fantasy about curses, choices, and the darkness we become when we believe our fate is already written.
