Would you betray your friends to save them? It has been months since Lily Singer's harrowing adventure in England, yet there has still been no word of her father or Morgan le Fay. Far from being able to relax, Lily has been kept busy doing the last thing in the world she ever imagined: dating Sebastian Blackwell. Insanity must run in her family. Things start to get interesting - that is, bothersome and entirely inconvenient - when former beau and FBI agent, Richard Grant, asks for help investigating a series of occult-related murders. Lily would rather decontaminate Sebastian's mold-ridden car than open that can of worms, yet she might not have a choice. For a whisper has spread throughout the magical underworld - a rumor of creatures that will pit friend against friend and resurrect shadows from the past.
