But then technology returns, and the magic recedes as unpredictably as it arose, leaving all kinds of paranormal problems in its wake. Kate Daniels is a down-on-her-luck mercenary who makes her living cleaning up these magical problems. But when Kate's guardian is murdered, her quest for justice draws her into a power struggle between two strong factions within Atlanta's magic circles. The Masters of the Dead, necromancers who can control vampires, and the Pack, a paramilitary clan of shapechangers, blame each other for a series of bizarre killings-and the death of Kate's guardian may be part of the same mystery. Pressured by both sides to find the killer, Kate realizes she's way out of her league-but she wouldn't have it any other way...

The saber seethed, and luminescent tendrils of smoke clung to its blade. “It has had many names. One of them is Wolfripper. Push me and I will show you how it got that one.” “You can’t take all of us,” a male to the right snarled. “I don’t have to.” I lowered the blade onto the neck of the wolf. “Move and I’ll kill him.” They became utterly still. Pack loyalty overrode their anger, but I didn’t dare push them any further. “That’s enough,” Curran’s voice said. The wolf shook harder, his lean body convulsing, and he whined weakly. The lord of the shapechangers glared at me. “Release him.” “Is that a request or an order?” A twitch ran through Curran’s face as if the lion in him wanted to claw its way out. “It’s a request,” he said. The wolf sagged to the floor as all strength suddenly left his sinewy legs. Curran growled, and the animal vanished in the dense mist. Curran turned to me. “Take one of mine again and I’ll kill you.” He said it in a conversational manner, matter-of-fact and flat, but in his eyes I could see a simple certainty. If he had to, he would kill me. He would not lose any sleep over it. He would not give it a second thought. He would do it and move on, untroubled by ending my existence . . .
