Which is stronger: blood ties or a battle-tested friendship? Thats the question Gin Blanco asks when a friends long-lost relative strolls into town. The suspicious reunion is a surprise for everyoneand a big problem for Gin. Book fourteen in the New York Times bestselling urban fantasy series RT Book Reviews calls unbeatable entertainment!

Its not easy being queen bee of an underworld abuzz with crooks and killers. Wielding my potent Ice and Stone elemental magic will only get me so farmy real secret is my tight-knit makeshift family, a motley crew of cops and criminals, dwarves and playboys. My foster brother Finnegan Lane is my right-hand man, but when his suddenly not-dead relative comes back into the picture, Im the one on the outside looking in.

Its funny how life works: one minute your best friend is rock-steady, and the next hes doe-eyed and buying into this whole loving-relative routine to the point of ignoring you. Id like to be happy for Finn, I really would. But all of my instincts are telling me that beneath the syrupy sweet demeanor and old-fashioned charm, this sudden interloper is planning something. The whole shtick leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. This person might have avoided the grave once, but Ill put anyone who hurts Finn in the groundfor good.
