Magic of Talisman and Blood

by Raye Wagner

  When tragedy destroys the only security she’s ever known, Hope’s life shatters. Forced to hide, alone this time, Hope pretends to be mortal. She’ll do whatever it takes to keep her secret safe— and her heart protected. But when Athan arrives, her world is turned upside down.

  With gods, demigods, and demons closing in, how long can a monster stay hidden in plain sight?

  Join Hope on her unforgettable journey to discover what it means to live and her daring fight to break Apollo’s curse.

  Hell owns her—she just doesn’t know it yet. After a year of preparation, eighteen-year-old Raven Smith has planned out every detail of her summer vacation in Europe. But while en route to Italy, Raven finds a letter in her carry-on telling her to turn back and that an agent of the devil plans to drag her to Hell. She dismisses it as a prank from her devout, elderly neighbor. Raven is determined to focus on feeding her love of art history and spending time with her older sister. But the letter is right—an agent of Hell waits for her in Europe. He’s waited for her all of her life, stalking her. At the perfect time, he will claim her. Raven is, and has always been, a pawn in a very deadly game.
