Tom Weng-a powerful sorcerer allied with the Old One who keeps trying to take over the world-is still alive. But that's not the worst. Weng is a dragon spawn, the product of a botched hatching given a human form in an attempt to keep him from going mad. A failed attempt. Meanwhile, Lily's husband Rule is facing a Challenge to the death. Then there's the possible reappearance of another sorcerer. But none of that matters when their enemy strikes out of nowhere in the worst way possible. Lily must face a nightmare and return to a place she never wanted to see again. The place where she died… Leseprobe ONE "You did what?" Lily shook her head. "Bad move, Cullen. Cops get excited when you take off running while they're questioning you." "It would have been worth it if I'd caught him." Maybe. Or maybe it would have been disastrous. "If it was really the guy who gave you those shields-" "It was." Cullen was wearing his stubborn face. Stubborn looked good on him. So did anger, arrogance, vexation, or intense focus, which were the expressions she saw most often on a face whose beauty could cause strangers to stop and stare.

"That's a lot of certainty from one glimpse." "Two glimpses," Cullen said, "and I've spent enough time resurrecting what memories he left me of our encounter. I know what he looks like." Roughly two years ago, a friend of Cullen's had arranged a meeting between him and another sorcerer. Cullen came away from that meeting with the strongest mental shields on the planet, memories that had been tampered with, and a burning desire to find the man again. So far, he'd failed. Benedict leaned forward, curious. "His first name was Michael, wasn't it? What was his last name? I've forgotten." "Maybe because he didn't use one. Damned sorcerers," he muttered, sublimely unaware of any irony. "Secretive as hell, every one of 'em." Lily snorted. "Shouldn't you say, 'every one of us'?" "Whatever." Cullen brooded a moment. "I'm going to find him." Lily knew why Cullen wanted to find th...
