It is the Age of the Xxyryn ... a strange and mystical time, even for people of magic. In ancient lore, the Xxyryn (Zai-ren) was the only warlock whose unmatched abilities included compulsion and creation. In his time, the Coven people of his generation possessed extraordinary talents. Now, a new generation of witches and warlocks with exceptional powers has emerged, but the Xxyryn has yet to be identified. The anticipation of the new Xxyryn and this generation’s purpose occupies the greatest minds of the magical realms.
Meanwhile ... Chloe Saville is determined to live a normal life, despite the abnormal traits she has wrestled to understand all her life. The general plan is simple: pass her college courses, complete her volunteer assignment, be a good tenant and roommate, and try desperately not to throw herself at the gorgeous, but unreadable, Ritt Carter. The last seems nearly impossible when her heart all but thumps out of her chest at the sight of him. But Ritt is sheer fantasy, and Chloe is intent on staying firmly rooted in reality.
Ritt’s keen sense of smell told him that Chloe was neither human nor shifter the instant he met her. He can’t claim a non-shifter and take her home. He can’t not claim her either; she’s his mate. Ritt is determined to overcome every obstacle and help Chloe learn who she really is, without losing her forever in the process.
