Season 2 of The Arcane Artifacts 

Growing up in the foster care system, Lily's life has never been easy. In fact, it's been downright horrific at times. But she's finally in a good place, ready to pursue her master's degree in the fall. 

Until she's abducted at a graduation party by Laurent, a vampire both otherworldly beautiful and inhumanly cold, endangering her life and everything she's worked for. She's never been important to anyone, so why does he want her so badly? And why does his touch set her body on fire?

Lord of a great house, Laurent's family is struggling; his vampires are disappearing and he's running out of leads and options. Then, he happens upon Lily, an amplifier, whose blood promises untold strength. 

To protect House Sarkas, no one else can be allowed to have the power that Lily's blood contains. She must be kept safe until Laurent decides whether to use her as he has many amplifiers in the past. But Lily makes him feel more alive than he has in centuries, and he finds himself wanting more from her than just her blood.

When Laurent's past catches up with him, his bond with Lily will be tested, and she might end up being the one protecting him.

But as the years pass, she's finally found herself settling into this new life with the shifters. Until she hears the whispers. Whispers of a separate kind of rare magic wielder-one her people thought extinct and have sought to return to their land. When the leader of the Western Shifter Territory asks her to help spy on the wielders and assist the neighboring Southern Shifter Territory, Brynn jumps at the chance to visit the territory directly connected to the rumors. Her visit leads her directly to Ronan, one of the deadliest shifters in all of Eravella, and a man she's inexplicably drawn to. Now, Brynn's been enlisted to help the Southern Shifter Territory rescue one of their own. The recovery effort puts her closer to Ronan, and gives her the chance to locate the treasure her people searched for. Except Ronan has a close eye on her, and he's refusing to let her keep her past buried deep where it belongs. Now she must fight her developing feelings, locate the wielder, and make the ultimate decision: protect the wielder and keep her secrets, or betray those she's come to love.
