Cait Keane’s life hangs in the balance. The Chemist has made his play, choosing the less likely of his two targets. If Cait’s dragon partner Aza or her extended family can’t help her, she could wind up dead from his attack. All around her, things are coming apart. The shifters have a new leader, vicious and bloodthirsty. The Dragons have brought in outside help with their own agenda. The Thorns are changing strategies, which spells danger for Yoshino and Cait. And then there’s the mysterious Victor Huff. A top-shelf criminal who needs to get involved in what’s going on around town. Even if Cait survives this attack, can she keep herself and her people safe? Sabrina’s juggling tasks as she looks into Perpetuity and Huff and will have to do something she detests – ask for help – in order to figure it all out. And Aza’s family is in imminent danger as the wizard who’s been plaguing them makes his play. The US Marshal with something extra wouldn’t have it any other way.
