In the wake of the war that almost brought the Nightside to total ruin, there's a power vacuum begging to be filled--and some think I should take charge. I don't agree. Neither does the immortal known as the Griffin. Wealthy beyond reason, he has his own ideas about who should be running things. Still, when his granddaughter--and designated heir--is kidnapped, he calls on me to find her.
But someone--or some Thing--is blocking my special gift. So this time, I'm going to have to do my job the hard way. And quickly, or the Griffin will have to choose a new heir...
