Their worlds collide in California’s high desert.
The last thing Natara “Natti” Stone wants to do is to start anew at Setemple High School. She wished she had never left London. Yet the brutal murder of her maternal grandmother has made her life very complicated. The only clue related to her murder is an ancient, encrypted necklace Natti discovered after her grandmother’s death. And if trying to adjust to American life is not enough, Natti is being stalked by a mysterious, charming high school senior, Seth O’Keefe, who is annoyingly persistent in his attempts at seduction.
Seth O’Keefe is secretly a member of the Sons of Set, an order that worships the Egyptian god of chaos. Seth’s blessing from Set, his “charm,” never failed, except with one person: Natti Stone. Her ability to elude him infatuates and infuriates him, and he becomes obsessed with the chase. But the closer he gets to her, the more his emotions take a dangerous turn, and he risks breaking one of the most valued covenants of his order. The punishment for which is a fate worse than death.
The adventure this unlikely couple becomes engulfed in could cost them their lives and their souls.

EXCERPT
“She has always protected our family,” Zofia told
her. “And we have always been careful to protect her in return.”
Protected,
Natti snorted and picked the box up gently and tilted it upright so she could
look at the relief. Then why was her grandmother dead? Murdered in her own
home?
She
brushed her fingers over the mother-of-pearl feathers of Isis’s wings. Patterns
of stars, ankhs, and eyes graced the
borders, the mother-of-pearl incasing them in fine lines of shimmering white.
Straightening her position on the floor, she leaned her back against the bed
frame and studied the figures and images.
As
she tipped the box just a bit more, something shifted and clinked against the
wood inside. Natti froze. She glanced at her cat, who had stuck her nose over
the rim of her fort; her eyes like saucers. Returning her attention back to the
cedar box, Natti opened the lid. The maroon, velvet lining greeted her, but
nothing more. Natti cocked her head and closed the box again as she thought.
She examined the exterior, giving it a small shake. A metallic object scraped
and rattled against the wood. A thought hit her, and she looked back inside,
this time comparing the interior depth to the height of the exterior.
“Oh
shit!” Natti rechecked to make sure her eyes hadn’t failed her. “No, bloody
way!”
