Ever had ex-housemates you can't get rid of? When Killian and the rest of the Drake vampires kicked me out of their mansion without any explanation, I felt beyond betrayed. I was livid! But I refused to waste my energy thinking about them. Thanks to all the free training I got while living with vampires, I had the skills I needed to finally free my family. I even got my house back! Best yet, I can pass on the magic techniques and fighting skills I've learned to all the wizards in our group.

I'm one scrappy wizard. As someone with barely a flicker of magic, I've spent my life being mocked and surviving fights with bullies. But when my parents die in an accident, and I find myself responsible for our whole wizard house and family, I know my usual tactics aren't going to cut it. The situation veers from bad to catastrophic when my backstabbing cousin stages a coup and takes my family hostage. I barely manage to flee, but the only supernatural willing to help me is Killian Drake - the most feared vampire in the region.

I thought life would be easier after I unsealed my magic. Spoiler: it's not. I want to free my family from my traitorous cousin, but with all the allies he's got guarding his back, even my new powers won't be enough to beat him. My best bet is to use my parent's signet ring to prove my claim of leadership. It's clear that war will break out soon if something doesn't change. So, I'm a wizard searching for a ring, while trying to survive living with a bunch of vampires and their deadly, suddenly touchy-feely leader. Yeah, life is definitely not easier.
