I just read this book.
And you guys.
It is Anne Bishop fanfic. Unequivocally! Terms and social structures are duplicated!
Lisa is a nurse at a New York hospital who has magic diagnostic powers - she only needs to touch a patient to know what is wrong with him/her! Obviously we must first see her doing this to a cute child. But within two pages, a man checks into her ward and immediately uses his magical powers to “touch her like a lover’s invisible fingers, stirring foreign urges and feelings within her that she had never felt before!” He’s bleeding all over the place at the time, but it’s cool - one of those feelings within her is bloodlust.
His name is Gryphon (excellent.) and he is on the run from the evil Mona Sera, his Queen, whom he serves because it is the natural order of things for men to serve the women who are born with the magical powers that make them Queens. If you are descended from the moon people, which he is. Turns out, Lisa is three-quarters moon person herself! In fact, she is the very first half-breed Queen ever! And could she also be… the most powerful Queen ever?! (Obviously yes.) Gryphon vows to serve her, and she vows to fix his evil-rape-y society - if they can find a cure for the poison that will kill him within 30 days!
Please assume that I got all these exclamation points directly from the book.
