Somewhere in the depths of a cold Maine winter, Angelina Donati is hiding.

Her mission is simple -- don't get found by the murderous Mayor Riley, who is hunting all of Eli Leventhal's remaining allies across New England, and make sure that a baby dragon egg is hatched, bearing the child of her dead best friend.


But then a young girl moves in to a neighbouring cabin across the lake. Her name is Natalie, a child from a broken home, in custody of an abusive uncle and protected only by her absent father's dog. Angelina has her own problems, and does not need another burden. But how can a former lost child turn her back on a girl in need?

Natalie seems to have no magical powers, but in the world following Mayor Riley's Realm Shift, many things have changed. Deadly creatures once more stalk the world, unseen since times long gone. Eli Leventhal warns of an old world awoken by Mayor Riley's recklessness, a world of which he has refused to speak for most of his 2000 years. A world where ancient evils return to reconquer what was once theirs, and uncover the forgotten relics of the past.

Only a few possess the power, and the will, to stop them. But doing so may cost Angelina everything that she has sworn to devote her life to protect.

Reviews

"Joel Shepherd is one of the most dynamic writers working in the field today. Each of his books blends pulse-pounding action with mind-blowng concepts and a deep understanding of the complications of the human heart. He is one of our very best."
Lou Anders, author of Frostborn and Hugo-award winning editor.
