After months of training a budding army of human/demon hybrids, Ayala
and Carrick have worked out most of their differences. Who gets to use
the bathroom first in the morning. Who'll feed the bunny before they go
out to make mayhem. Who gets to keep the jeeling claw they found in
Forest Hills. You know, the important stuff.
But when Gregor sends them out with their battalion of shades and the
mission quickly lands on the wrong side of Ayala's "don't kill norms"
moral line, she quickly discovers that maybe morality wasn't the
motivator behind Gregor's pet project--or at least not when money's
involved. And when a trio of shades starts murdering the populace in
Nashville again and targeting places and people significant to Ayala,
her desire to help her own comrade shades stay on the good side of the
Mediators will place her at their mercy again.
With the Summit fracturing and demons closing in on the city, saving the
shades and herself may cost Ayala everything.
