Since he became the guardian of the Gate between our world and Feirie
sixteen hundred years ago, Nick Medea, once Saint George, has battled to
keep the darkest Feirie--the Wyld--from invading the mortal plane. With
the dragon an unwilling part of him, Nick maintains balance between
realms, often at great cost to him and those nearest to him. Nick and
his ragtag confederates--including the shape-shifter Fetch and Nick's
reincarnated love, Claryce--have battled the Wyld, but mortals as
sinister as the darkest Feirie. Now, with Prohibition in full swing and
bootlegger wars embattling Chicago, a murderous evil born of the mortal
world has turned its attention to the power of the Gate...and Nick
himself. Nick must turn again to his most untrustworthy ally: the dragon
within. Yet even together they may not be enough to face what was once a
man...but is now a creature even dragons may fear.
