Affinity

By @AliceRaeJordan and @HRAllen

Aaralyn D'Amour is the premier member of the Calendine witch coven, one of the oldest and most powerful covens known to 19th century Europe. She is a raven haired French beauty who packs a real punch of power, but she isn't your ordinary witch. With the extremely rare ability to wield all four of the natural elements, Aaralyn is known as a spirit witch; the first born in over three hundred years.

Kind hearted and empathetic to those in her command, Aaralyn's heart and conscience are weighted by the weapon she has been fashioned into by her superiors. Her misdeeds bare heavily upon her shoulders while she tries in vain to honor and fulfill her destiny as it was dictated to her at just ten years old. But her nature rebels against the senseless hate at every turn, and she fears what the vampire Elders at the fortress in Italy might have in store for her future.

Nathaniel Madison is an outsider in every facet of the term. Left somewhere between vampire and human by a seemingly botched transition and "reborn" into a set of rules and a conflict that aren't his, he does his best to remain within the guidelines of the three hundred year old treaty established between the witches and vampires. Too vampire to live as a human and too human to live as a vampire, he makes his existence alone, traveling back and forth across Europe as he pleases and happily accepting his rogue title.

The problem with vampires is that there is no turnover of generations, and old grudges tend to survive the wears of time. With new and old tensions rising in the occult world, Nathaniel finds it harder to remain on neutral ground. When he happens upon a troubled witch on coven-owned land on the outskirts of Paris, his life takes a drastic turn, and he inevitably finds himself in a position to choose sides.

"He loves death. She loves life. He lives for her. She dies for him."
