Hell hath nothing worse than a Fury scorned... As a Fury, Marissa Holloway belongs to an Arcane race that has avenged wrongdoing since time immemorial. As Boston's Chief Magical Investigator for the past five years, she's doing what she was born to: solving supernatural crimes. It's far from business as usual when the body of one of Riss's sister Furies washes up in Boston harbor. Riss discovers that the corpse's identity has been magically altered, but as soon as she reports her findings, she's immediately--and inexplicably--suspended from her job. Then a human assassin makes an attempt on her life, and Riss starts to realize that someone may be trying to stir up strife between mortals and Arcanes. When a Fury gets mad, she gets even, and Riss is determined to untangle this case. Without the support of the mortal PD, Riss turns to the one man she can trust to watch her back--shapeshifting Warhound Scott Murphy. But since Scott is also Riss's ex, she'll have to keep a tight leash on more than just the supernatural rage that feeds her power as they try to solve a murder--and stop a war...

Quotes edit see section history

  • “What kind of man actually tried to talk about touchy-feely shit when women weren’t strong-arming them into it, anyway? The kind you fell in love with, my conscience whispered.”
    Riss
  • “Because if there’s one cardinal rule in the arcane community it’s this: Never piss off a Fury unless you kill her first—even if you’re dead.”
    Riss
  • “Sometimes, running was the only smart thing to do. I wouldn’t—I couldn’t—let him break my heart again. Being immortal didn’t mean being indestructible.”
    Riss
  • “Snookered? I mouthed the word, having trouble picturing it in the elegant woman’s vocabulary.”
    Riss
  • “I sighed, closing my eyes and leaning against his chest, listening to his pulse race as quickly as my own. And felt the last few icicles crusting my heart crackle and then explode into a million tiny pieces.”
    Riss
  • “I know Furies can take care of themselves, but you’re my Fury, dammit. I need you.”
    Scott
