Magick is real. And there's a secret world complete with an agency to control those who would wield their power over “regulars” or threaten the secrecy that keeps their kind safe from persecution. To Cassie, a mixed blood witch, it’s the only world she’s ever known. For Drew, a witch born to regulars it answers some questions, raising more. Like "was magick to blame the night everything changed?"

Family, obligation and love... sometimes the choice is made for us.

Magick is real. And there is a secret world complete with its own agency, Veritas. Their purpose is to control those who would wield their power over "regulars" or threaten the secrecy that keeps them all safe from the persecution that nearly destroyed them centuries ago.

For Cassie, a mixed blood witch, it's the only world she's ever known and now she is struggling in her role as agent.

For Drew, a witch born to a non-magickal family, the discovery answers many of his questions. It is also the cause of tremendous loss and pain. And now, as he and Cassie attempt to find his missing brother, rumored to be working with a rogue witch and cult leader, it threatens to take the last of his family.

Or will magick save it?
Book 2 in The Veritas Chronicles is coming Summer 2013

Review by: Christine Pogon on June 11, 2012 :
I found myself putting off this book in the beginning because it was a little slow for the first couple of chapters. The fact that the story didn't grab me immediately, is one of the reasons I didn't give this book 4 stars.

Once I decided to commit myself to getting past, what I hoped was just a rough beginning, I was very happy that I did! The story does, indeed, redeem itself just a few chapters in. I found that I was halfway through and totally invested in the characters in just a few hours.

What I most thoroughly enjoyed about this story was that the main character, Cassie, really comes into her own by the end of the story. She started out unsure of herself and her talent as an investigator for Veritas, and a fledgling witch. After a chance meeting with the story's antagonist, however, Cassie discovered her power and just progressively gets more and more amazing.

Also, I enjoyed the romantic aspect of the story. I found that Ms. Savage was able to weave the romance in while not at all taking away from the rest of the story and what was going on while Cassie and Drew's relationship changed.

I will definitely read the next installment, in what I hope will be a series. I am a fan of Savage's writing.

I give this book 3.5/5 stars!
