The leader of the Thorns criminal organization despises Cait and the US Marshalls, and he's decided it's time to take them out. But a group of terrorists are plotting against a politician, drawing Cait's Special Operations Group away. Is it a distraction? Even the shifters are gearing up for the big battle. Can Cait and Aza survive the battle? More trouble awaits them if they do. Sabrina is still working her way through the secretive organization, Perpetuity. Who has her back, or wants to put a knife in it?

A shadowy presence in this world is controlling the shifters, supporting them as they carry out attacks on the innocent citizens of Westport and the witches that protect them. On Oriceran, something unseen has an agenda with Aza's family and an unwilling blood donation. The fragile balance between the Roses and Dragons has been destroyed by a pair of Syndicate assassins determined to make Boston the prize. Cait and Aza are right in the middle of all of it.

Shifters to the left, gangsters to the right . . . Cait Keane and her dragon partner Aza are stuck in the middle. The problems are mounting for the newest member of Boston's US Marshals. Her coven is pressed by territorial shifters, and the wolves have a secret partner who has plans of her own. Cait might even be the target of the assassin she helped arrest—before his escape. Or maybe it is just a lone criminal with a grudge who's after Judge Flynn. Cait's not buying it.

You'd think a gang war being fought in the shadows of her town would be the magical US Marshal's most pressing concern. You'd be wrong. The shifters are pressing hard to take over the territory they believe belongs to them. Too bad Cait's coven lives there. An assassin that's gunning for her may have a new ally—a second Syndicate assassin. That can't be good. And the Dragons on Oriceran face a threat they can't see, smell, or hear. In the breach stand Cait and Aza, refusing to bend or break as they fight to protect those in their care. Fortunately, they'll have allies.

The Roses and the Dragons are at each other's throats after a failed assassination attempt brings their simmering feud to a boil. The assassin that ruined Cait's first day on the job has become a force to be reckoned with—and he's got her square in his sights. That's okay. She's got weapons aimed at him, too. Did we mention there's a dragon? But wait. The shifters are increasing the pressure, trying to force everyone off their land. The mysterious master thief is calling in his favor. And Cait's newly unlocked power means family trouble ahead.

Cait's gone from restful meditation to combat with shifters in the blink of an eye—even the young witch's refuge is no longer safe. A roaming pack of wolves is threatening her coven and the nearby town. And more enemies are intent on taking the witches' land, by force if necessary. Back in Boston, a wealthy criminal's bank vault reveals the greatest evil Cait has ever encountered. Unlocking the safe put her on the hook for a favor to a master thief. Was the information worth it?
