Now on the run from the Inquisition, she must prove to herself—and the world—that not all wizards are too dangerous to let live. The savage murder of a bookstore employee throws Nicole into the middle of Inquisition business, like it or not.

Using forbidden magic to investigate the past, she learns that the murderer is in fact a disease that could kill the entire werewolf race.
