Magnus — Debra Elise

MAGNUSMagnus is the ultimate enigma.At over a thousand years old, he straddles two worlds, keeping his true identity, and origins, from his followers.At birth, his goddess mother bestowed upon him a thirst for war he fights every day. The unluckiest of his five brothers, by far.His otherworld sire, arguably the world's first absentee father, pops in and out of his life when it suits his needs. Abilities inherited from his parents make him more than vampire, more than monster: more good than evil. For now.Then there's The Fates. They think they rule his destiny: giving him a mate who wants nothing to do with him, but his heart only beats for her. A decade ago, his mate, a witch, ran from their first meeting. Cursing them both and leaving him to fall into madness slowly.With time running out and if he can't convince her they're stronger together, his future will be something he's avoided for centuries—non-stop bloodlust.ZURIMisunderstood her entire life, she left her mother's coven to use her magic on her own terms. Plagued by visions since running from the vamp her mother and The Fates claimed was her mate, a mysterious group of men are now after her and the good-luck potion she created.Convinced she doesn't need anyone, least of all the sinfully tempting vamp who shows up to rescue her, she now has a life altering decision to make—her potion, her life or the mate she can't keep her thoughts, or her hands, off of.
