Catalyst (Magic, Romance, and Murder)

I've kissed three men in the last twenty-four hours, and now one of them is dead, one of them might be a murderer, and one of them might be my salvation.

But which is which, and how do I get out of the city alive?

My name is Severine, and I'm a Catalyst — a person with the rare ability to multiply another's power. For a mage, that's an ability worth killing for.

Which might be exactly what happened. Or maybe I'm just a pawn in a bigger power play, with an end goal I can't yet see. Either way, I'm in mortal danger.

Surrounded by mages who want my power and vampires who want my blood, I need to figure out who I can trust with my life before I end up captured, dead, or worse.

And along the way, I may just discover who I can trust with my heart.
