Reining in demons and supernatural foes is a formidable task, but thankfully Jayné has vast resources and loyal allies to rely on.

Working alongside Karen Black, a highly confident and enigmatic ex-FBI agent, Jayné races to track down the demon's next intended host. But the closer she gets, the more convinced she becomes that nothing in this beautiful, wounded city is exactly as it seems.
