Book excerpt: Kruise and Shayde had just about mended their ailed relationship when Shayde gets the opportunity to go to London with her family on her father’s business trip. Kruise isn’t worried but Shayde, on the other hand, has a foreboding deep within her that she cannot shake and impending doom seems immanent. It doesn’t help that there is a new girl in school that seems to be chomping at the bit to get her mitts into Kruise, and although he seems oblivious to her implications, Shayde finds it hard to leave him to her. Another factor that doesn’t seem to bother Kruise is that the family the Gamics are going to visit are also magical. There is even a boy her age there named Abel. As a new bond between the witches grow, the connection between Shayde and Kruise weakens and she doesn’t know who is to blame. After an unfortunate incident, Shayde and Abel find themselves connected in a way that two people have never experienced before. When another calamitous event has Abel rushing against the clock to save Shayde, he finds what’s truly at risk–losing her and another extraordinary being–both of which the world is so lucky to have. Will he find the answers in time to save Shayde and Aura? And if he succeeds, will the answers found sever connections beyond repair?
