Having magic doesn't guarantee a free ride in life. Especially for a half-blood witch.
Dara Martin has a Normal for a mother, so she'll never really be accepted by the Kin, and a formal education in magic is out of her reach. But when an evil sorcerer snatches her last link to her mother, she has to learn what she can do, and fast.
Lending her power to Willem, she unwittingly assists in bringing Krampus and other nasty Christmas spirits to life, and in doing so helps wreak havoc and bloodshed on her hometown.
This is a dangerous game, and if the Kin find her print on the wreckage she risks having her magic painfully bound. Forever.
But only if she's caught.
Klappentext
Sometimes it's not a question of right or wrong, but what you think you can get away with.
Dara Martin is an untrained witch with strong natural power, and while she knows she deserves formal education from the Academy, it will take years of grueling study and hard slog for this half-blood to be accepted by the Kin.
On the other hand, Willem the sorcerer may hold the secret to her lost mother, and he promises to fast-track her power beyond measure. What he proposes is illegal, and if she's caught, her magic will be painfully bound forever.
But only if the Witch Kin catch her...
