Blood Spells — Jessica Andersen

Mayan lore and modern science warn that 12/21/2012 could bring a global cataclysm -- a threat that is far more real than we imagine. Dark forces stand poised to crush mankind beneath a vicious rule of terror and blood sacrifice. Our only hope rests with a group living in secret among us: modern magic wielders called the Nightkeepers.

Trained from birth to fight with fists and magic, Patience White-Eagle knows that she should focus on the coming war for souls. But she isn't just a warrior -- she's a wife and mother too, which leaves her loyalties divided between the Nightkeepers and her family.

Brandt White-Eagle broke the rules when he married Patience and fathered their twin sons -- and now he's paying the price. Torn between his magic and his marriage, and separated from his ancestors' wisdom by a curse he can't remove, Brandt is fighting to put his life back together.

When an ancient Aztec god-king arises, Patience and Brandt must set aside their problems and team up as a mated warrior pair. But as they race to prevent the Nightkeepers' enemies from enacting a terrible ritual that could tear apart humanity, the threat turns even more personal, becoming a deadly test of their powers...and their love.
