Lyra is a strong black female college student and bookstore employee, who is gifted with natural magic. The kind that moves as if breathing, reaching out for connection and it hasn’t failed her yet. 

Enter Adrian, her guardian angel… of sorts. His ancient family has blood-bound magic wards to protect them. When a shadow creature tries to devour the magic from a fellow magic users of the city. Adrian saves Lyra from the shadow who manages to feed on another. Bidding their time. 

Blood magic saves them both for a short time but then they must rely on each other to stop the shadow creature too. Who would’ve thought that magic could mix with science? Well that’s what happens when severance occurs. It all goes horribly wrong for one individual. Lost and alone, another tries to save the love of their life only to become a magic devouring being hellbent on fixing their errors.
