First published 2014
Rachel Morgan thought saving the demonic ever after would bring peace. Instead, twisted magic now plagues Cincinnati and the Hollows. Spells explode unpredictably. Magic users find their power turned against them. The fragile peace between supernatural races crumbles as fear spreads through both Inderlander and human communities. The undead vampire masters who maintain order among their kind face destruction from the chaotic forces. Without their control, the supernatural world will collapse into open warfare. Rachel knows she must act before Cincinnati becomes a battleground. Only one solution exists: the dangerous ancient elven wild magic. This power could stop the magical chaos, but it brings its own deadly risks. Rachel must decide whether to embrace forces that could destroy her in order to save everyone she cares about. The witch who walks between worlds now faces her most perilous choice yet.
