Claire Connolly stands at the edge of two worlds as war tears through what remains of New Orleans. A year has passed since the Veil ripped open, unleashing paranormal invaders into the human realm. Claire, a Sensitive with hidden magical abilities, fights alongside bounty hunter Liam Quinn to protect their city and its survivors. They've held the line at Devil's Isle, but now a new threat emerges, more dangerous than any enemy they've faced. When Claire discovers that paranormals have created a magical weapon capable of changing the war's outcome, she faces an impossible choice. The weapon lies in the Beyond itself, a hostile realm where her concealed powers may be her only hope of survival. She and Liam must venture into this dangerous world, leaving behind the familiar battlegrounds of New Orleans for territory where magic runs wild and enemies lurk at every turn. The fate of her city rests on this desperate mission into the unknown.
