A delightful debut from Kass O'Shire! If you love a story with adventure, romance, steamy shifters who know how to appreciate a lady, and hilarious anecdotal interjections in the form of pithy footnotes, you're going to love this book! 

Sirin is an ultimate woman in STEM--underappreciated, underestimated, and who's tired of her research being pushed to the back burner. Who wouldn't want to find the scientific source of all magic?? And if the people in charge won't let her do it then she's going to go on this adventure with or without their help!

In her dogged pursuit of magical knowledge, Sirin finds herself entangled in a bigger web of secrecy and information than she could have ever dreamed of. And finds herself on trial for trespassing, with a possible death sentence?! When intrepid scout, and handsome stranger Berne steps in to save her claiming her as his mate, Sirin rolls with the abrupt turn of events and enjoys the local hospitality as she settles in.
