Synopsis

Evangeline Stone wakes on a cold slab in a morgue, bruised and unclothed, inside a body that is not hers. She has no memory of who she is or how she got there. Her troubles start from that moment.

Before her death, Evy worked as a bounty hunter in a city where dangerous creatures live out of sight: vampires, shape-shifters and trolls among them. She and the other two members of her Triad were the top Hunters in town, and they cleared out those killers without mercy. Then something happened that killed all three of them.

The other Hunters now believe Evy betrayed them, and she cannot recall what actually took place. She is a fugitive, gathering her memories piece by piece and looking for payback along the way.

A reincarnation spell has brought her back, and it wears off in three days. She has until then to solve her own murder. When the time runs out she dies again, with no second chance.

This is urban fantasy with a hunted heroine, a ticking clock and a violent, supernatural underworld. The pace is driven by the deadline and by the gaps in her memory.
