The Verse of Iron Teeth: Spells & Bites

THREE POWERS. ONE VERSE. NO PEACE.A man walks into a New Orleans cemetery on a moonless night and takes something that was buried to stay buried.Days later it surfaces on the counter of Elara Arcanum's shop: a parchment of iron-toothed script that no living witch was ever meant to read aloud. It is a conscription spell. It forces the change without the moon and without consent, and it was written to point every wolf on earth at a single throat. Six hundred years ago it was sealed by treaty. Speaking it is a declaration of war.By morning, eight people are dead on two continents, and three ancient powers want the parchment back.A wolf dynasty runs a desert empire out of southern New Mexico on land it has held for a hundred years, keeping a peace that costs them a man held eighteen years in his own animal body. A vampire court where the queen is more dangerous than the king, and knows it, and has begun to make arrangements of her own. And a coven that has guarded this secret so long it has forgotten it was ever guarding a lie.None of them know who Elara really is. Neither does she.Somewhere behind all of it, an order of warlocks that has waited six centuries is counting on exactly one thing: that when the wolves and the vampires finally tear each other apart, nobody will be watching the men who lit the match.The Verse of Iron Teeth is the first novel of the Reyes Legacy - a dark fantasy of witches, wolves and vampires where magic always costs something, the full moon is never the thing you should be afraid of, and every family in this story protects what it loves in exactly the wrong way.
