Kate Daniels faces her biggest challenge yet as mate to Beast Lord Curran. She struggles to balance her detective work with pack responsibilities while preparing for an inevitable attack from Roland, the ancient godlike being whose connection to her now threatens everyone she loves. When Atlanta's supernatural faction leaders gather for the Conclave, a Master of the Dead turns up murdered. Evidence points to a shapeshifter as the killer. Kate receives an ultimatum: find the real murderer within twenty-four hours or watch a war erupt between the factions. With Roland's influence growing stronger and time running out, Kate must navigate deadly paranormal politics where one wrong move could destroy her family, her pack, and everything she has fought to protect. The investigation becomes a race against time as ancient powers collide in modern Atlanta.
