Going Under (Bound by Magick Series #3)

by Lauren Dane

Overview

“Lauren Dane always delivers a steamy, exciting ride” (New York Times bestselling author Larissa Ione), and she does it again in her new novel of two lovers fighting for their lives against a rising threat, and a passion that’s just as dangerous…

In the wake of the Magister’s rampage, chaos rules. Left reeling, the Others and the humans scramble to create some sort of unity in the face of growing unrest and violence from anti-Other hate groups—and PR guru Molly Ryan is the witch who can do it. She grew up in the human world but there’s nothing left for her there. She’s lost her PR firm and her friends, and now she’s decided to put all her fight toward aiding the Others in this dark new reality. Gage Garrity, one of the few Others who survived the massacre, fears that the crusade will expose Molly to greater dangers than ever before.

Now, together, with magick on their side, Molly and Gage are on the road in a desperate struggle to unite a torn world. From state houses to television news to legislative conference rooms across the country, they’re fighting the good fight. And it’s bringing out a passion in both of them they never expected—one as volatile, intense and all-consuming as their relentless battle for world unity. A battle that could be their undoing…

About the Author

As a stay-at-home mom, Lauren Dane had lots of conversations in a singsong voice but no real outlet for adult thoughts and words. Armed with a secondhand laptop, she decided to “give that writing thing a serious go.”

Nearly a decade and several dozen books later, she’s well aware of her good fortune and is loving every moment of it, even when she has to edit and put Barbie’s dresses back on over and over again.

From the Publisher

When Molly Ryan is "outed" as a witch and ousted from the PR firm she built from the ground up, she takes her skills to the powerful Clan Owen, where it's Gage Garrity's job to keep her safe; but as anti-Other sentiment rises and violence escalates, Molly and Gage realize the stakes are getting higher—and passion is growing. The Others—paranormal beings who live on Earth—have survived the onslaught of the Magister, a murderous, shadowy creature who slaughtered hundreds of thousands of Others practically overnight. Still reeling from the battle, Others are now under attack from a rising tide of violence from human anti-Other hate groups. When Molly Ryan, a genetic witch and a brilliant public relations tactician, is forced by her partners to leave the firm she created, she offers her talents to Clan Owen, a formidable entity on the West Coast. Reaching out to Others across the country, Molly forms an alliance among paranormals, but as she increasingly becomes the face of this united front, her safety is severely threatened. Gage Garrity, a Hunter in charge of security, is tasked with keeping Molly safe, escorting her across the country as she speaks on behalf of the Others whose safety and rights are being compromised. As death threats flood in, and more than one attempt is made on her life, Gage realizes that keeping Molly alive is no longer a professional responsibility, but a personal necessity—he can't imagine life without her, but he's not sure he can risk loving her either. In her third Bound by Magick novel, Dane creates a fascinating character in Molly, who takes the weight of her world on her shoulders as she watches, frustrated, while a mean-spirited, close-minded small percentage of the human population tries to hack away at the rights and privileges of her kind. Hers is a well-developed, textured plot that reflects a frightening yet believable scenario and creates a taut, dangerous backdrop for the rising passion between Molly and Gage. A thought-provoking, creative paranormal scenario coupled with a sexy, intelligent love story make this book an absorbing success.
