Cassandra Palmer recently defeated a god, which you'd think would buy a
girl a little time off. But it doesn't work that way when your job
description is Pythia-the world's chief clairvoyant. Cassie is busier
than ever, trying to learn about her power, preparing for her upcoming
coronation, and figuring out her relationship with the enigmatic sexy
master vampire, Mircea.
But someone doesn't want Cassie to become Pythia, and is willing to go
to any lengths to make sure the coronation ceremony never happens-
including attacking her mother before Cassie is even born.
