Amelie, a witch from a long line of psychics and seers, moves from New York to New Orleans to reconnect with her powers. Long suppressed by her family of origin, she is looking for a new life, and to escape the traumas and tragedies of her past. She meets Parisian gothic rocker Lyon in an online forum and is instantly attracted-they strike up a long-distance romance that quickly begins to smolder, bursting into flames when Lyon shows up on Amelie's doorstep, sinking his fangs into her throat. Lyon is a vampire from an ancient and powerful French family. Despite the long history of hatred and discord between witches and vampires, Amelie and Lyon fall deeply in love, and Amelie can't imagine ever being parted from her soulmate. But Lyon has a secret, a familial covenant to which he is bound, and he is forced to leave Amelie and go home, promising to reunite with her as soon as he is able. But when Lyon does return to Louisiana, Amelie is missing. Devastated, Lyon must put the pieces of the puzzle together-a prophecy, and age-old war, a mysterious coven of dark witches-and find Amelie before she is lost to him forever.
