Athena Ellison, a powerful young mage who spurns her family's old-money expectations to become a bounty hunter, has a geomancer’s talent for finding things—but sometimes the things that find her first have teeth and a thirst for magical blood. She captures Kellan Mordigan, a mage who’s the main suspect in a triple homicide; and as a bonus, the Mordigans and the Ellisons have been feuding for about a century. But right after Athena tracks Mordigan to a coffee shop and arrests him, they’re attacked by a group of revenants, and even Athena’s supernatural fighting skills barely get them out alive. As much as Athena wants to believe the worst of Mordigan, she’s drawn into the quest to uncover the truth behind the Council’s actions. Amid monsters and mayhem and with Mordigan in tow, Athena must put together a plan to defeat a necromancer who has made a literal deal with the devil and evade the tightening net of the Council’s warrant, all while preserving the secrets of the Secondworld and keeping her world-ending power under control…
