Blurb(s):
Seiran Rou's life is complicated—he's the only male in
the world allowed to take magic classes in a female-dominant society, his
vampire boyfriend, Gabe, is hinting that he wants more, and his mother is
demanding a grandchild. But when a
co-worker turns up dead on his doorstep, Seiran realizes his problems are only
beginning.
With the police dogging his steps, a stalker-like
bartender watching his every move, and a magic groupie following him around,
Seiran is finding it hard to hide his power—a power that if revealed could get
him killed. The Dominion, the ruling body of elemental magic, seems to have
started a deadly game to control the rare magic he possesses.
Someone is pulling strings, murdering witches, and
gathering power. When Seiran finds himself next on the hit list, he doesn’t
know whether to run and hide or prove himself to be the powerful witch he is.
If he stands up and fights, he’ll have to decide what is more important—hiding
his power or protecting the ones he loves.

Excerpt:
Professor
Wrig gestured to the stump. “Seiran, if you will demonstrate, please?”
Rose
looked like she’d swallowed a lemon. “I can show them how it’s done, Professor,”
she said.
“I’m
sure you can, Miss Pewette. However, I already asked Mr. Rou.”
I took a
deep breath and stepped up to the stump, wondering if I was allowed to actually
focus with the earth this time. “Can I kneel?” I asked Wrig quietly.
“Whatever
you feel is necessary.”
I knelt
and waited for instructions.
Professor
Wrig explained, “As Mr. Rou is showing you, he is putting himself in close
contact with his element. He will be pulling power from the earth. Should he
accidentally pull too much, he can give it back without causing damage to us or
the surrounding area. He will take the time he needs to focus his power, and
then he will place his hands to the stump. All witches with a measurable level
will make something grow. A level one will produce moss or ivy. A level two
will create flowers or even a small bud of a new tree. His level is set by what
grows. Whenever you’re ready, Seiran.”
“Try not
to kill any of us,” Rose sneered from behind me.
I
sighed, closed my eyes, and left all their scattered whispering behind. It
didn’t matter that Rose didn’t shut up or that Blond Hair looked at me like he
was imagining what sex with me would be like. The earth and I knew each other
well. I let it flow through me, like I was nothing more than a pebble in a lake
to be shaped and guided by it. Each breath brought renewed life. I set my hands
to the stump, remembering the last time, when I’d made wildflowers burst forth
from the dead tree. This time I didn’t even look. The earth would grow what it
wanted to with me as its conduit.
The
power flowed through me in natural peaks and waves. The crowd gasped. The wood
shifted and moved beneath my hands. I let the earth move as it wanted until the
final wave subsided. Letting go, I opened my eyes and stared at a giant oak
tree, leaves growing to a rich, vibrant green. No wildflowers this time. I
smiled at the tree and patted its strong, new trunk, which split the old stump
in half.
“Very
good, Mr. Rou,” Professor Wrig told me. She offered me a hand up. I stood,
dusted off my pants, and went to the back of the line. “Next,” she said.
And so began the testing.
