I have the most vicious demons And my sins are countless. And the kidnapping of Natalie Goode... perhaps the worst crime to date. The fact is that I am the same Blackthorn who is responsible for the death of her ancestor. But Natalie’s blood calls to me, my body calls me by name, and if kissing her is so sinful, then Romeo was right when he said in Shakespeare: bring back my sin. For the last few hundred years I have tried to avoid witches. In fact, ever since my family destroyed Salem, I've been avoiding almost everything from my past. So when a curse drags me halfway across the world to a witch, I know I should leave her alone. But I can't. In Natalie there is something irresistible. I need to keep her safe, even if Natalie doesn't want to be protected by a vampire from the Blackthorn clan.
