Book 4 - The Black Recorder

Izzy opens a letter just before Michael’s annual Samhain shindig - and plunges her family into danger when hostile magic escapes into the house. Arguments rage while the house is searched and even their party becomes a threat as Declan is pursued by a reporter determined to dig up secrets.

The hunt is on for who wants revenge on Izzy, and why. As she tracks through the archives of the cases of dead wyrdwolves to obtain answers, she discovers a family secret linked to her dam's death. And that something done at her daughter's birth has dire consequences for her and Michael.

It isn’t just things from Izzy’s past or her dam’s that come back to bite them. One of Michael’s ancestors made a misjudgement that led to the creation of one of the most powerful magicians in the UK. He challenges Michael to an illegal duel. It’s not a fair match but Michael accepts to protect his family, and faces the prospect of losing his magic or his life – and Izzy’s.
