Emma and Nightshade piece together a series of cryptic clues left by the killer. However, another slaying of a high-ranking family member derails their progress.
Now dragged into a world she’s fought hard to avoid, and fearing her parents will be the next victims, Emma must do everything she can to help Nightshade catch the killer and restore peace, but time is running out.
