Dark rituals performed with royal blood…
Della Marshal still doesn't believe in magic, wizards, or deadly curses. What happened to her had to be hallucinations. But when Lucas and Richard's friend Autumn is kidnapped in public, Della can't deny the trouble they are in is very real.
Autumn is a rejected illegitimate member of the British royal family. Since there are certain rituals that can only be performed with someone with royal blood, those from occult circles could use Autumn to warp magic and activate the power of ley lines for nefarious means.
No matter what she believes, Della has to help. And so does Lucas's gorgeous ex-girlfriend Cassandra.
Della's intuitive powers, her Talent, leads the crew to London's Highgate Cemetery, home of the Highgate Vampire, and then underground in the Thames Water sewer systems to follow the city's many ley lines.
As Della fights off the attacks of nonhuman entities to save her friends, she can't continue denying that magic is real, and that she belongs in this world because it needs her.
