Rachel Morgan ya ha puesto en serio peligro su vida amorosa y su alma a través de sus esfuerzos por llevar a las criaturas de la noche criminales ante la justicia. Entre caza y caza, mantiene las manos ocupadas desviando las atenciones de su compañera bebedora de sangre, protegiendo un mortal secreto de su pasado y resistiendo los envites de un nuevo y tórrido pretendiente vampiro. Rachel también debe elegir un bando en la guerra que arde en el inframundo de la ciudad, debido a que ayudó a destronar a su último jerarca vampiro; y para ello hizo un pacto con un poderoso demonio que pudo costarle una eternidad de dolor, tormento y degradación.

There's no witch in Cincinnati tougher, sexier, or more screwed up than bounty hunter Rachel Morgan, who's already put her love life and her soul in dire jeopardy through her determined efforts to bring criminal night creatures to justice. Between "runs," she had her hands full fending off the attentions of her blood-drinking partner, keeping a deadly secret from her backup, and resisting a hot new vamp suitor. Rachel must also take a stand in the war that's raging in the city's underworld, since she helped put away its former vampire kingpin--and made a deal with a powerful demon to do so that could cost her an eternity of pain, torment, and degradation. And now her dark "master" is coming to collect his due.
