She does and this simple act of kindness launches her and her family into the heart of a very dangerous case. Catalina’s Siren power gives her the ability to compel others to do what she wants them to, and Augustine needs her to use that ability to coerce the boy away from the edge. A young boy is on the roof of a hospital, contemplating suicide. Which is why she’s really not pleased when Augustine Montgomery shows up at her house at two o’clock in the morning looking for her aid in an urgent matter.

Needless to say, all this responsibility means Catalina doesn’t get much rest. As Head of the House, Catalina must find a way to keep them afloat financially and most importantly, keep them alive – and she must do all of this while presenting a strong front to society and serving as lead agent for their private detective company, Baylor Investigative Agency. They lack the wealth of most of Houston’s magical elite, which limits their ability to hire protection, and has forced them to be cautious in establishing alliances. With their sister Nevada now a part of House Rogan – and out of the country visiting in-laws with her powerful husband and mother in law – they are especially vulnerable. But their time of clemency is up and they must find a way to survive in an extremely hostile and competitive environment. Her House was protected by law from attacks for the first three years of its formation, giving the members time to strike alliances and build a secure base from which to function. In a world where magical families engage in open warfare for supremacy, Catalina Baylor is in a precarious position. This review will contain spoilers for those stories. They contain information that will be crucial to the full understanding of this tale. This is the fourth book in the Hidden Legacy series and I strongly recommend reading the other novels – and the short story Diamond Fire – first. Readers got a taste of what to expect in the short story Diamond Fire and will be delighted with how the authors proceed in this newest installment. The writing duo of Ilona Andrews takes their Hidden Legacy saga in a new and exciting direction with Sapphire Flames, their first full length novel starring Catalina Baylor, Prime Siren and Head of House Baylor.
