Publisher's Summary

Lucas Rurik confronts a cult determined to remake the world—no matter the cost—in this urban fantasy noir from the author of the Hellequin Chronicles.

Lucas Rurik is no stranger to navigating the tricky territory between humans and those touched by the rift. After all, as the last surviving member of the Raven Guild, protecting the peace is his job. But that doesn’t mean it’s easy.

As much as Lucas would like to be out hunting for Dr. Callie Mitchell—a deranged scientist with a bad habit of experimenting on the rift-fused—his friends at the Rift-Crime Unit require his expertise on a perilous case. It seems a mysterious kingpin known as the Croupier has been making some shady deals, and revenants, riftborn, and humans alike are winding up dead in the process. Now, with the help of chained revenant Nadia and FBI-agent-turned-revenant Emily West, it’s up to Lucas to track down the anonymous crime lord before anyone else is hurt.

But as Lucas gets closer to his target, he discovers this is no ordinary manhunt. The Croupier is leading a dangerous group of zealots who want to destroy both the rift and humanity—and they’ll stop at nothing to make their so-called Blessed plans a reality . . .

A really good read

Steve McHugh is one of my favorite writers, he has a knack of making amazing characters so relatable. After the story told in book one the bar was raised very high, and Steve has again smashed this one out of the park. The characters are ones who make you care, whom you want to succeed, and they pull you in to a grand tale of magic in the modern world.

I honestly can wait for the next installment, and see how the story continues to unfold. The narrator, Matthew Wolf, does an excellent job of taking the words off the page, and making them into something special.

Can't wait for book three!
