Having freed one of their own, Sorsha and her shadowkind companions are no closer to being safe. The organisation that cages and experiments on monsters is bigger than they realised, and the newly rescued member of their group has no patience for humans — Sorsha included.
As the hunt widens, Sorsha runs into the harder question underneath it: the abilities surfacing in her are not something a human should be able to do. Understanding where they come from may be the only way to reach the people who killed the woman who raised her.
The second entry in Eva Chase's why-choose urban fantasy series deepens the conspiracy plot and the bonds between Sorsha and Thorn, Ruse and Snap.
