Deadly Force

The old world is ending.
She’s what it becomes.

I used to be nobody. A student loan, a job I hated, a quiet cup of tea on New Year’s Eve. Now the whole world is running out of magic, and everyone who wants to save it, or hoard it, has decided the answer is me.

Merlin isn’t hiding anymore. He wants what I carry, more than anyone ever has, and he’s willing to burn everything down to take it, starting with the people I love. Connor is gone. Dermot is watching my back. And the stranger teaching me to fight turns out to know far more about what I am than he’s ever let on.

So I’m learning fast, pulling on kinds of magic I didn’t know I could hold, whether Connor likes it or not. Because I’m done being hunted, done being the helpless girl who needed saving.

Merlin has waited an eternity to find me. He thinks that makes me a prize to be taken.

He’s about to learn how wrong he is.
