THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLING SERIES CONTINUES Return to Megan Scott's world of immortal hunters and forbidden romance with the highly anticipated sequel to The Temptation of Magic.

Nicole and Kyan are playing a dangerous game.

Nicole is on the run, hiding from The Wake as she attempts to track down her mother’s last clue and the truth of her death.

Kyan is pretending to still be The Wake’s loyal Empyreal assassin, even though his feelings for Nicole – and the mate bond that ties them together – have changed everything.

Separated, yet determined to be together, Nicole and Kyan must embark on a quest where they will encounter the most powerful vampire in England, ancient Celtic treasures, and lost Druid sites.

Meanwhile, the Wake sees all, and the Wild Hunt is stirring. As Nicole and Kyan get close to the dark secrets at the root of the organization, they court complete destruction – of themselves and all they hold dear.

Critic reviews

Praise for The Temptation of Magic
'A dark jewel of a book, glinting with adventure, a gorgeous dark academia setting, and spellbinding romance'
Natasha J. Hastings, author of How to Charm a Viscount
'An intoxicating blend of the supernatural, Celtic mythology and an atmospheric Cornish town, Scott weaves an enthralling tale of desire and temptation. I was lured in by the gorgeous descriptions of art and the coastal setting, and ensnared by the characters and thrilling plot as it unfurled'
Rachel Greenlaw, author of Compass and Blade
'Simmering romance melds with dark academia in this lush, immersive tale—I was completely spellbound from the very first pages'
Lyndall Clipstone, author of Unholy Terrors
‘Finally, a book that balances romance and fantasy perfectly! The Temptation of Magic is filled with art, mythology, and unique paranormal creatures, but the love story between Nicole and Kyan never gets overshadowed. The tension between these two is impeccable. This book is a slow burn that actually burns and I adored it!’
Melissa McTernan, author of A Curse of Blood and Wolves
‘An absolutely sweeping love story that weaves the magic of dark academia, forbidden romance, with just a splash of enemies-to-lovers. This book felt like walking through a museum, admiring an art gallery, and breathing in the pages of an old bookstore all at once. Kyan and Nicole are both easy to fall in love with and impossible not to root for. From start to finish, it was a rich and vivid ride’
Elizabeth Helen, author of the Beasts of the Briar series
