416 pages · First published 2015
In a post-apocalyptic Atlanta where magic and technology rise and fall in unpredictable waves, former mercenary Kate Daniels faces her greatest challenge yet. With her mate, Curran, away on Pack business, Kate is left to navigate the dangerous politics of the city's shapeshifters while preparing for an inevitable confrontation with her immortal father, Roland. When a Master of the Dead is murdered and a shapeshifter is accused, Kate has less than twenty-four hours to find the killer before the fragile peace between Atlanta's supernatural factions collapses into war. But the investigation leads directly into a trap set by Hugh d'Ambray, Roland's ruthless warlord, and Kate soon discovers that protecting her friends may require sacrifices she never imagined. Packed with brutal magical battles, dangerous political intrigue, dark humor, and fiercely loyal characters, this pivotal urban fantasy installment is ideal for readers who enjoy powerful heroines, supernatural conspiracies, high-stakes action, and relationships tested by impossible odds.
