The Indigo Spell

A Bloodlines Novel

Part of Bloodlines

In the third installment of the internationally bestselling Bloodlines series, Alchemist Sydney Sage finds herself torn between her teachings and the yearnings of her heart.

“We’re suckers for it.”—Entertainment Weekly

“Stands out from the crowded vampire genre.”—Associated Press

In the aftermath of a forbidden moment that rocked Sydney to her core, she struggles to draw the line between her Alchemist teachings and what her heart is urging her to do.

Then she finally tracks down the elusive, enigmatic Marcus Finch—a former Alchemist whom the organization denies exists and who lives in shadows, on the run. With Marcus’s help, Sydney realizes that the group she’s been loyal to her whole life has been hiding the truth from her. Is it possible that her golden lily tattoo might have more power over her than she thinks?

As she struggles to come to terms with what that might mean, Sydney is compelled to use her growing magical powers to track down an evil magic user who is targeting powerful young witches. Using magic goes against everything she always thought she believed, but she realizes that her only hope is to embrace her special blood—or else she might be next.

Forging her own way is harder than Sydney ever dreamed. Maybe by turning off her brain—and following her heart—she’ll finally be able to figure out where she belongs.
