While she occupies herself with the delicate intricacies of Practical Magic, her world is upended by the arrival of Malachite Peur. As the youngest Supreme in history, Malachite carries a reputation for danger and a thirst for power that makes him the ultimate academic rival. When he offers to mentor Maeve in the volatile art of Combative Magic, he pulls her into a web of forbidden desire that threatens to shatter her carefully constructed life.
