Magik is a dangerous thing, and no one understands that better than Crow Morrais. 

Or at least, he understands it now, now that it's too late. It's been three years since the insurrection, three years since his friends had been stolen away from him. Every day is a fight to push past the panic of it happening again: the feeling of blood on his fingers, red coating everything he sees, his only comfort being the stash of potions in his pantry and the promise to never let anyone get hurt again.

There's still rumours going about, of Witches and Humans alike disappearing from his college campus. Officials swear they are looking into it, but more and more go missing by the day, with seemingly no rhyme or reason. 

Still, as much as it hurts, Crow is done playing hero, his only goal left to stay under the radar and graduadate one day to become an archeologist.

That is, until his best friend goes missing without a trace.

Dive into a world full of magic and modernization. It's 2218 and magic has been a part of the world since the 5th century. With the rise of government and regulation, Magic Laws have been placed in effect to appease the people of the world. Every mage must have a license to use their magic outside of their homes but there are those who follow the dangerous path instead. Follow our resident mage (a magical person) Claire Dunsworth who becomes a NYC Mage Detective and her new partner the rugged Detective Raven Black as they investigate crimes of a magical nature. Claire is a mage with exceptional magical talent if not too exceptional for the higher ups within the Guild that monitors all mages of the world. She is an orphan and grew up in a Home for Magical Children on Mage Island, floating in the middle of the Pacific. Under constant watch and scrutiny from the Guild, Claire now finds herself working side by side with a Black, the very family that was breed to become mage assassins, killing thousands of her people. The fact that the Black is also a handsome man does not help Claire's case at all. Raven has nothing to do with his family and yet is hostile to Claire upon finding out she's a mage. He worked as a detective to make sure everyone had equal justice but when he got his new partner Claire his world is thrown upside down. Not only is she a mage whom he silently despises but she's also the most beautiful woman he's ever laid eyes on. As they work together and find a rocky truce between themselves they travel the city solving crimes with a magical association. Raven accepts Claire without cause while Claire lays her life down for the man who stole her heart. As they fall for one another a dark figure lerks in the shadows, plotting something sinister for our mage Claire. Could this dark figure perhaps have something to do with Claire's unclear past? Can Raven, a Black, somehow save this woman before she's taken from him forever?
Three Drops Final (ABANDONED) by bloodrosesthorns

(Book 3 in the 'Blood Drops' series) Five drops for the vampires who drink it. Four for the creatures who relish in it. Three for the strong who take it. Two for the weak who cower from it. One for the humans from whom it is taken. *** This book, along with all the others in this series, was written in a manic creative frenzy when I was about 11-12 years old. I do not consider it quality work, nor do I find it representative of my writing skills today. I will not take it down, because it is still fairly popular and I enjoy reflecting upon how I have developed my writing over the years. All I ask is that if you choose to read the book(s), please take into consideration that this was written by a tween many years ago, and that I am not the same person (or writer) as I was then. Thank you. *** Felicia Winters had just survived the hardest year of her life: a year of abuse, of pain and misery, of darkness and the supernatural and death. She was finally beginning to heal, putting the pieces of herself back together with the help of her friends- she thought the war was over. She couldn't have been more wrong. When her life becomes threatened, will she accept help from her former abuser and mate Braith? Or will she create a rift between them with the power to destroy all they know and love? Now three drops final will have to sate the beast. If you have any constructive critiscism for me, please leave it in the comments or feel free to DM me (also I suck at summaries, so sorry about that).
