Power Lineages

When ancestral myths awaken from the shadows and the price of magic is paid in blood, Bree Matthews must decide whether she will be the salvation of her people or the force that will dictate their final destruction. The destiny of a kingdom is not written without sacrifice.

Bree Matthews is alone. She has exiled herself from the Order of the Legendary, severed her ancestral ties, and distanced herself from the friends who cannot understand the impossible cost of her powers. This is the only way to keep herself—and those she loves—safe.

But Bree's decision came at a terrible price: an unbreakable pact with the Shadow King himself, a shapeshifter who can move between humanity, the demonic underworld, and the secret society of the Legendary. In exchange for training to wield her unprecedented abilities, Bree placed her future in the hands of the Shadow King—and, unknowingly, committed herself to obeying his orders as his new ward.

Meanwhile, the other Heirs must face the war with their fractured Round Table, without a leader and without their Royal Mage, as Selwyn has also disappeared. When Nick is detained by the Order's Regents, he invokes an ancient law requiring the High Council of Regents to convene at the Northern Fortress and grant him an audience. No one knows what he will demand of them... or what secrets he has hidden from the Table.

As a series of mysterious abductions intensifies and Merlins are found dead, it becomes clear that no matter how much Bree runs from who she is, the past will always find her.
