Hydromancist (Seven Forbidden Arts 4)

Maya Martin has a rare gift. It has been forbidden since the Dark Age, making her kind hunted both by government and forces that steal their art and sell it to the highest bidder.

She is a hydromancist.

She manipulates water.

She can split the sea like Moses.

Labeled a colored person in her country, Maya doesn’t fit in. She doesn’t belong with the blacks, or the whites. Mixed breeds like her with a Xhosa mother and Dutch father belong in the Cape Flats, one of the ugliest and deadliest places in South Africa. Life there is not worth a loaf of bread. Becoming the meanest gangster alive is the only way to survive. Violence became her value, fear her currency.

Until Cain Jones came along. Joining his paranormal crime taskforce saved her from who she used to be. He gave her wars to fight that redeemed her soul. Nothing matters but the oath she took, to fight for the good of humanity.

Her new life was on track until Cain sent her on a mission to Costa Rica to destroy illegal shipments of AK47’s smuggled from Mexico to Zimbabwe. The main suspect is Timothy Fardel, the Australian ambassador. Tim is like no man Maya has ever met. He is generous, compassionate and enigmatic. Their attraction is undeniable. He is also an arms dealer. He is the man she has to destroy.
