When Kate, a recovering addict, meets handsome, bad-boy Aiden, her resolve to stay sober lasts only until he tempts her with the Spellbinding: an intoxicating magic. But Aiden's ex-best-friend, Chase, won't stop warning Kate that Aiden is a Shade--a dangerous sorcerer. 

When Kate naively agrees to initiate into the Shades, and is compelled to do evil to those she loves, it's Chase who saves her life, and Aiden who threatens it--but still swears his love for her.

Trapped in an ancient conflict between light and dark power, and good and evil men, will Kate give in to the dark allure of Aiden and his power despite the cost? Or will she choose the strong but gentle Chase, turning them both into targets for every dark magician in the modern world?

And I know how much you love Amy. And your dad. And I know…I know you'd just walk into it, no matter what. If you thought it would get them home safe, you'd…you'd put yourself in danger to save them. I know you would."

"Just like you did," I say through my teeth.

"Just like you did, for me. You knew you might die, or I might die. But you stuck by me anyway. In fact you promised me you wouldn't make me go through it alone."
