Cassie Palmer, the new chief seer of the supernatural world, tries to rescue a friend from a horrible fate, deal with her increasingly possessive vampire lover, and prevent the destructive actions of some of her own acolytes.

"Cassandra Palmer recently defeated a god, which you'd think would buy a girl a little time off. But when your job is being Pythia--the world's chief clairvoyant--you don't get a lot of R & R. Cassie is busier than ever, discovering her power, figuring out her complicated relationship with the enigmatic and sexy vampire Mircea, and preparing for her upcoming coronation. But someone is dead set against Cassie's becoming Pythia, and will go to any lengths...

When a bloodthirsty Mafioso sets his vengeful sights on Cassandra Palmer, who is gifted with the ability to communicate with the dead, she is forced to ask the vampire council for help and must pay a high price at the hands of a sensual master vampire.
