A birthmark on the inside of my wrist—the Kiss—marks me as a summoner, a person who can call forth entities of power, and negotiate with them on behalf of clients who need answers—or favors—from beings above their karmic pay grade. But the only mark I'm worried about right now is the great big target on my back. I got in deep with a demon and some fae folk, and now both Faerie and Hell are interested in me—a dangerous position for a mortal woman to be in.

The leader of the Thorns criminal organization despises Cait and the US Marshalls, and he's decided it's time to take them out.

Can Cait and Aza survive the battle? More trouble awaits them if they do. Sabrina is still working her way through the secretive organization, Perpetuity.
