Born without a trace of magic, Tamsin Lark is no match for the sorceresses and Hollowers who populate the magical underground of Boston. But when the only parent she s ever known disappears without so much as a goodbye, she has no choice but to join in their cutthroat pursuit of enchanted relics to keep herself and her brother, Cabell alive.

Ten years later, rumors are swirling that her guardian found a powerful ring from Arthurian legend just before he vanished. A run-in with her rival Emrys ignites Tamsin s hope that the ring could free Cabell from a curse that threatens both of them. But they aren t the only ones who covet the ring.

While Emrys is the last person Tamsin would choose to partner with, she needs all the help she can get to edge out her competitors in the race for the ring. Together, they dive headfirst into a vipers nest of dark magic, exposing a deadly secret with the power to awaken ghosts of the past and shatter her last hope of saving her brother. . . .

Leseprobe
SEVEN YEARS AGO

Lancashire, England

The first thing you learned on the job as a Hollower was to never trust your eyes.

Nash, of course, had a different way of saying it: All sorcery is half illusion. The other half, unfortunately, was blood-soaked terror.

In that moment, though, I wasn t scared. I was as angry as a spitðting cat.

They d left me behind. Again.

I braced my hands on either side of the garden shed s doorframe, drawing as close as I could to the enchanted passageway without enðtering. Hollowers called these dark tunnels Veins because they carried you from one location to another in an instant. In this case, to the vault of a long-dead sorceress, containing her most prized possessions.

I checked the time on the cracked screen of Nash s ancient cell phone. It had been forty-eight minutes since I watched them disappear into the Vein. I hadn t been able to run fast enough to catch up, and if they d heard my shouts, they d ignored me.

The phone screen blinked to black as the battery finally croaked.

Hello? I called, fiddling with the key they d left in the lock one of the sorceress s finger bones, dipped into a bit of her blood. I m not going back to camp, so you may as well just tell me when it s safe to come in! Do you hear me?

Only the passage answered, breathing out whorls of snow. Great. The Sorceress Edda had chosen to put her collection of relics someðwhere even colder than England in the winter.

The fact that Cabell and Nash weren t answering had my insides squirming. But Nash had never been deterred by the promise of danðger, and he was about to discover I wouldn t be deterred by anyone, least of all my rotten bastard of a guardian.

Cabell? I said, louder this time. The cold gripped my words, leaving white streaks in the air. A shiver rippled through me. Is everyðthing all right? I m coming in whether you want me to or not!
Of course Nash had taken Cabell with him. Cabell was useful to him. But if I wasn t there, there was no one to make sure my brother didn t end up hurt, or worse.

The sun was shy, hiding behind silver clouds. Behind me, an abanðdoned stone cottage kept watch over the nearby fields. The air was quiet, which always stirred up my nerves. I held my breath, straining my ears to listen. No humming traffic, no drone of passing airplanes, not even a chirp from a bird. It was like everyone else knew better than to come to this cursed place, and Nash was the only idiot too stupid and greedy to risk it.

But a moment later, a fresh wave of snow carried Cabell s voice to me.

Tamsin? He sounded excited, at least. Watch your head as you come in!

I plunged into the Vein s disorienting darkness. Outside was nothðing compared to the barbed cold that wrapped around me now, knifðing at my skin until I couldn t draw breath.

In two steps, the round doorway at the other end of the Vein carved itself out of the black air. In three, it became a vivid wall of ghostly light. Blue, almost like

I glanced down at the broken chunks of ice scattered around the doorway, at the swirling curse sigils carved into them. I turned, searchðing for Cabell, but a hand caught me, stopping me in my tracks.

I told you to stay at the camp. With his head lamp on, Nash s face was in shadow, but I could feel the anger radiating from him like the warmth from his skin. We ll have words about this, Tamsin.

What are you going to do, ground me? I asked, riding high on my victory.

Perhaps I will, you wee fool, he said. Never do anything with
