Hannah Mathewson: The Age of Blood and Magic, Gebunden

Klappentext

Magic built their empire. Blood will decide who rules it next. When a CEO falls, one family's battle for control becomes a brutal game of betrayal, desire, and power in this sharp, seductive debut for fans of Succession---with fangs.

A hundred years ago, magic ran wild---belonging only to the fae, the witches, the vampires. Then the mortal Martin Maddock stole its secret. With it, he forged Mythos, a company that bottles spells for humankind. Now his descendants rule a trillion-dollar empire---and Valentina Maddock is determined to inherit its throne.

The world's wealthiest elites descend on the Maddock estate for a lavish, ultra-exclusive weekend to unveil Mythos's latest magical breakthrough. But when Valentina's CEO father suddenly collapses, the race for his heir begins---and the claws come out. Valentina is pitted against her playboy brother, her brilliant scientist mother, and her father's long-time CFO. Even the guests and staff are choosing sides---and someone intends to eliminate Valentina entirely.

Then an unexpected guest arrives: a vampire. Luc Sayle has no known ties to Mythos, yet he carries a private invitation from the CEO himself. Drawn to the enigmatic and dangerously handsome stranger, Valentina senses Luc may be her only ally. But his polished words hide a bite, forcing her to question who the true monster really is.

Set in a world of dark enchantments, glittering wealth, and cutthroat ambition, The Age of Blood and Magic blends paranormal fantasy, locked-room mystery, and romantic suspense into a razor-sharp, intoxicating tale where magic is power---and everyone's out for blood.
