\"book<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Safety is staying in her family home,
facing the forces outside is her fate\u2026
how can she balance the magic required?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh yes, her extended family is exasperating on a day-to-day basis, but 16-year-old Voya knows they love her and that she’d do anything to keep them safe in mid-21st century Toronto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now the Trinidadian-Canadian teen pleads for a second chance to claim her Calling as a witch, through a task to be set by her ancestor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But this task is brutal, far beyond what anyone in her extended family experienced in their Calling – ‘destroy her first love.’<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Time is of the essence as Voya must fall in love with someone and then eliminate them\u2026or her little sister will die, and her entire family will lose its long-held magic!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Love match via genetic blood test<\/a>?
Cozying up to a rival magic family?
Surely there must be another way\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Find this great YA debut at your local library<\/a> or independent bookstore<\/a> now. The series continues with Blood Like Fate<\/em> in August 2022. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What would you sacrifice to keep your family safe?
