The year is 1902, and the world is changing with the new century. Twenty-one-year-old Ava Stanley, the daughter of two celebrated Arcane Taxonomists, has much to live up to—however scarce her magical abilities may be. While her parents draw power from spectacular birds and megafauna, Ava’s connection to the natural world is much smaller, stemming from the microscopic. This is useful in her quest to become a doctor, as she studies the burgeoning links between bacteria and disease, but it means Ava’s power itself is also smaller.

Max Fisher used to run a computer company; Angela Petrakos was his assistant and mistress. But that was last year. Now Max is reinventing himself as a hip-hop crack dealer, and Angela is back in Ireland hooking up with a would-be record setter - in the field of serial killing. Will their paths cross again?

When Max learns that a gene-altering treatment he underwent could make him go primal on the right woman, he decides to just stay home. As a widower and a hermit, he prefers his own company, anyway. Yet, he still relents when his best friend lures him out on a quick vacation. Well, that was a mistake. Because now he’s trapped in a beach house with the one person on earth he was hoping to avoid: his best friend’s daughter. She’s off-limits. And he was having a hard enough time resisting her before the experimental treatment.

The side effects of a gene-altering, experimental treatment means that Damian could go primal. Regress. And be overcome with the urge to claim the right woman. It sounds too crazy to believe. Divorced and bitter, all that Damian cares about is his infant son. Maybe he also cares a little too much about his young nanny, Maya. Even if he knows he should let her go soon, so she can start her own life. Or, that had been the plan. Now that he’s caught in the throes of a primal regression, he knows he can’t ever let her go. She was meant to be his.
