Publisher's Summary

Cass Clereaux is good at two things: finding treasure and killing demons. Lying low is a close third - but not because she wants to be good at hiding. Cass is a FireSoul, one of the unlucky few to inherit a piece of a dragon's soul. On the surface, the perks are sweet - she has the power to find and steal any type of magical treasure, including the powers of other supernaturals.

But it doesn't come without a price; stealing powers requires that she kill, and others would destroy her if they discover what she is. In a world full of magic, hiding her powers is the only way to survive. Finding magical artifacts is the only ways to pay the bills. But it's a dangerous job when you can't use your magic.

When Aidan Merrick, the most powerful shifter in the city, hires her to find an ancient scroll, she doesn't want to take the job. His immense amount of power reminds her of too much of murky memories from a past she can't remember. But she has no choice. The scroll will reveal what she is. And if anyone finds out, she's dead.

Ancient Magic features kick-butt heroines, a hot hero, and otherworldly adventure.

Great introduction to a new author

Ancient Magic is book one in Linsey Hall’s Dragons Gift: The Huntress series. It’s been five years since Hidden Magic the prequel and the girls Cass, Del and Nix are doing well, their business is booming and life is great, they have friends and apartments. This book is filled with so many different types of magic, shifters and demons. It’s action packed and full of adventure.

Cass, Nix and Del are rare FireSouls (they have parts of a Dragon’s soul) they are sort out by Order of the Magica or the Alpha Council cause of their ability to steal powers from other Supernaturals. They have been hiding from something or someone for 10 years, with no memory of their lives before the day they wake in a paddock at the age of 15, except for an urgent need to run and hide. Now the girls run a store called Ancient Magic which specialises in selling power imbued replica relics that Cass retrieves. When Cass is hired by a powerful Supernatural to retrieve a scroll that could jeopardise their lives and possibly get them exposed and imprisoned.

Cass is our lead in this series with appearances from Del and Nix. Cass is a powerful Mirror Mage but she has no control over her powers, so pretends she is weak as well as hiding the fact that she is a Firesoul. But hiding who she is is difficult when she is working close to the powerful hybrid Aidan who can sense her power. She doesn’t want to be near him or work with him as he makes her feel things but she must retrieve this Scroll as it details all Magical Creatures abilities and powers, which put her and her sisters lives in danger.

Aidan is a very powerful shifter, Elemental Magika plus more. He is powerful, rich, handsome and very intrigued and interested in Cass. Aidan wants to explore what’s going on between him and Cass but Cass is so scared of who she is that she wants to find the scroll and be done with him before her secret is revealed. Aidan can sense Cass posses strong magic, but doesn’t understand why she doesn’t use it, he is constantly asking her to use it, but she refuses.

I really enjoyed reading this and getting to go on this adventure with the characters. I read this book in one sitting and was hooked from the very beginning. I can’t wait to see how things heat up between Cass and Aidan now that things have been revealed.
