Description
Lord Oliver Stoneworth was born into privilege. His family has always taken great pride in their esteemed reputation. While visiting his uncle's country estate, a threat to everything Oliver's family has worked for leaves him traumatized. Already reeling, he discovers something about himself which is even more horrifying: not only is he a highly-illegal and socially-disdained blood mage, but he is also a sexual invert. Fear spurs him to keep these discoveries hidden from the world, but guilt drives him to join the Conclave of Magical Practitioners. There he lives in daily hope and terror that one of the merciless members will find him out and bring retribution to his doorstep. Circumstances seem to conspire against him, however, when two notorious blood mages, Lord and Lady Purcell, return from banishment. The maddening and brazen Lord William Hastings insists on pulling Oliver into the conflict and refuses to retreat to a safe distance, no matter how often he is pushed away. All of London is in danger, and Oliver must choose between keeping his secrets, or using the full measure of his power to turn the tide. Book 3 (final) of the Conclave series.
