Unfortunately, there is no hiding from Asher Stonelake, a Sanctuary Master and werewolf who feeds on vengeance, especially when it comes to the Lancasters. They killed his entire family and he refuses to rest until the witch who murdered his sister suffers the worst kind of death.When he finally captures Valeria, he salivates at the thought of the malicious ways he'll break her. But perhaps someone already has?Vengeance must wait, as trouble knocks at the door. Could his prisoner become more friend than foe in the end ... perhaps even an ally?

Valeria Lancaster is a witch, an Enforcer and, to top it off, the daughter of the Chief Enforcer, Lionel Lancaster, the latest patriarch of an old line family of witches, warlocks and Enforcers. Enforcers enforce the will of the High Council on all of the supernatural beings of the world; witches, warlocks, fae, werewolves and other were-animals and last, but not least, vampires. Their mandate is to enforce the Council’s will fairly and impartially, but in the hands of a madman, that mandate could become a means of enforcing racial prejudice and personal power.
After a mysterious encounter with a werewolf, Asher Stonelake, Valeria is left with unanswerable questions in addition to a head injury. When her magic seems to become uncontrollable, and she appears likely to have killed her mother, she runs…at Lionel Lancaster’s request. Two years later, she winds up the prisoner of Asher Stonelake accused of killing his little sister. From that point, her questions about her magic and Asher’s questions about his sister, as well as other questions concerning other individuals in Asher’s sanctuary come to a dramatic head revealing Lionel Lancaster’s true nature.
Broken Magic is good story; a metaphor for human nature where those unlike us are shunned and those like us are favored…especially where those like us give us personal power. Valeria and Asher bridge the prejudicial gap between magical beings and lead by example as other beleaguered magical beings unite to fight back. The characters are complex and well developed. The writing was excellent, although a few small typos were encountered.
While I admit this genera is not my reading preference and found the sexual scenes gratuitous; the details unnecessary to the story (I skipped over them), I did enjoy Broken Magic and felt it would be a story that should be well suited for 18+ fantasy and romantic fantasy fans.
