Poet Parker is living a new reality now that she knows what she is. Unfortunately for her, she still doesn't know what she can do ... and she doesn't think she's going to figure it out in Little Rock, Arkansas. Since her uncle Sidney is in tow, Poet is hopeful for a quiet week. Little Rock has never been a hotbed of activity. Quiet isn't what she gets, however. What started as an irritation on the pedestrian bridge turns into a full-blown attack. It seems Little Rock has a seedy underbelly after all, and it's something Poet was never expecting. There's a craven on the loose, a woman who can control actions and emotions... and she's set her sights on Kade. The craven has a specific type, and Kade fits it to a tee. Unfortunately for him, the craven's victims all end up dead. Poet is determined to keep her loved ones safe, but it's proving to be more difficult than she anticipated. With half her army vulnerable to the craven, Poet has to fight her own people, even as she desperately tries to protect them at the same time. Poet's new powers are necessary for the fight, but is she ready to embrace them? When the loas join the party and make things worse-because that's what they do-things spiral. It's up to Poet to fix what's been broken. That is if she can.
