(Volume 1 completed) A world where witches and warlocks practice witchcraft, bloodshed, sacrifice, and worship underworld deities. One witch, Elvira Cain, loses her heart to her species' enemy, a wizard while working as an undercover spy. Her heart is now torn between loyalty to her kind and the man who has opened her eyes to a new world of kindness. If she chose him, would he ever accept her true nature? Even if he did, would her family let her live with that decision? War, bloodshed, and consequences will surely follow whatever choice she makes.

"I am to travel on a horse in this dress? My veil would get stuck under the horses' hooves, resulting in a drastic fall. I don't want to ruin my dress and then get trampled all over by a horse on my wedding day. Why does Wivior want to include a horse ride in my entrance? My skirt and veil should have been way shorter for that."
"Wivior?" Cornelius gave her a confused look. "Everard insisted on being part of the ceremony. The horse ride was all his idea."
"Are you sure he doesn't want to kill me?" Elvira gulped.
Cornelius laughed uproariously. "No! However, if he heard your reluctance and fear of death at his hands, it would break his heart."
