This was an amazing story, full of action, mischief and sex.Kamryn Vale is a Dahnen Witch whose element happens to be fire. She lives with her Quatre consisting of an Air Witch, an Earth Witch and a Water Witch. They are the best of friends and the very definition of soul sisters. They live together at the Collegium where they are approaching the end of their studies and hope to graduate soon. They are each powerful in their own right, but together they are a force to be reckoned with.One day, while running from one of the Sentinal guards patrolling the hallways, Kam ducks into what appears to be a broom closet and comes face to face with an incredibly gorgeous guy taking a bath in what is basically a very large bucket. His name is Alex and he is a Watchtower Knight, trained to defend and protect the Dahnen Witches with his very life. He is hunky, naked, and immediately smitten with the lovely Fire Witch who has just invaded his privacy. When the Sentinal comes knocking on the door looking for Kam, Alex agrees to deny ever seeing Kam in exchange for two kisses from her......two passionate kisses from her at the time and place of his choosing. Let the magic begin....From this moment on, the passion between Kam and Alex is explosive. Literally. When things get too heated between them, she loses control of her element and accidentally sets things on fire. They do their best to work around this problem, as they have a much bigger fish to fry..... one Witch has been murdered, drained of her power and desecrated, and another Witch has gone missing. The Watchtower Knights have been called in from a 200 year old exile to help in any way necessary. Desperate times call for desperate measures! The Dahnen Witches will do whatever is necessary to find their missing friend, including teaming up with the Watchtower Knights (walking a fine line between what is actually sanctioned by the Collegium and what will get them permanently expelled) and combining the Witches' magic with the Knights' power to form a an *almost* impenetrable shield between themselves and the Dark Magic that is holding the missing Witch captive.The action in this book is amazing! I loved reading about the world of the Dahnen Witches and their extremely protective Knights. The author goes into so much depth about how the magic actually works and lets the reader come along as the Witches and the Knights set out on a dangerous and complicated rescue mission. This story was so well written and I had a hard time putting it down.I did have a few issues with this story, though. For me, the ending left some unanswered questions that are driving me crazy, to wit:What happened with Tristan? We got to know him and come to love him and then we aren't even told what happens to him at the end. Does he live? Does he die? I want to know!What is the Primus's reason for all the cover-ups? They go to a lot of trouble to cover-up and change certain events in their history, but we don't know why. They must have a reason for doing this......but I sure don't know what it is.These questions could easily be explained in the next book, if it turns out that this will be a series. I couldn't find any confirmation that this will be a series, though, so as far as I am concerned, these are simply u answered questions that contribute to an incomplete ending.Still, though, this was an excellent story that kept me thoroughly engaged to the very end. I would LOVE to read another book about these Witches and Knights, but maybe focusing on a different Witch.....I can totally see Mycah and Sebastian hooking up in book two!
