Dead of Light (Northern Lights Book 1)

There are three things you can never escape. Your family. Your past. And your magic. Ben Macallan isn't your average young man rebelling against his family. The Macallans are not only ruthless crime lords-- they use magic to rule their city. Magic that Ben lacks... or so he thinks. When Ben walked away from his family and the criminal life, he thought it would be forever. But then the talent begins to wake up in Ben. And his family starts to die, one by one, in vicious, gruesome, horrible deaths. There's someone in the city with as much talent as the Macallans, and they're using it to kill Ben's family. Like it or not, you can't turn your back on blood. It's in Ben's body, in his veins and in his heart. Just like magic…
