A Novel of The Arcane Archives

Lillith Shade thought she could keep her two worlds separate—the mundane life of a police consultant and the magical legacy she’s spent her whole life protecting. But when a prominent businessman is found murdered, and all evidence points to her twin brother, Draco, Lillith’s carefully constructed reality begins to unravel.

As Lillith delves into the mystery, she discovers Victor Blackwell’s death isn’t just a crime of passion... it’s tied to a dark conspiracy, a forbidden project, and a coven of powerful Magicians willing to destroy anyone in their path. With time running out and Draco’s life on the line, Lillith must confront enemies both old and new, including a betrayal closer than she ever imagined.

The deeper she digs, the more dangerous her world becomes. Shadowy figures whisper of secrets her family has long tried to bury, and trust becomes her most fragile weapon. To survive, Lillith will need to wield her powers like never before—even if it means revealing the truth about herself to the people she loves most.

For fans of The Dresden Files and Shadowhunters, Family Ties is a spellbinding tale of magic, mystery, and the bonds that can either save us or break us completely.

In the Shade family, secrets aren’t just deadly—they’re the key to everything.
