I am Maia Delacroix and I hunt people and relics. My life does not lack excitement or danger. I have it in spades. Then the Mageri surprised me with an orphan...yes, an orphan. I can’t even keep a house plant alive, let alone a kid. It turns out that I’m her only living relative, and even though we’ve never met, I’m her only hope. Great. Can I feed her after midnight? What does she eat? I have no idea what I’m doing. They tell me this little witchling will need care for a few years until she comes of age. The bizarre fire leaking out of Elaina’s hands is a pretty good indicator that she is no witch. Then the coven comes—they want her back. Necromancers show up, turning my vampire friends into enemies. If that isn’t bad enough, I have a demon problem now too. Join me, and see if we can make it out alive!

For Maia Delacroix, hunting is second nature. When she lands a new case finding out what happened to a missing minotaur, she finds the most complicated case is now at her feet. With cold leads she recruits a few of her friends to help her solve this case and bring the minotaur home. The case brings up demons from her past she’s not ready to deal with, reminding her of all she has to lose. Before she can solve the case, the very people who took the minotaur have now taken Elaina and it’s a race against the clock to find her before she falls victim to the kidnappers. The stakes are high and a shocking twist turns everything on its head. Can she catch the bad guy and free Elaina before more lives are lost?
