New York Instances bestselling author Kim Harrison results towards the Hollows with the electrifying follow-up to her acclaimed Pale Demon!

The ever-after, the demonic realm that parallels our very own, is shrinking, and if it disappears, so does all magic. It’s up to witch-turned-daywalking-demon Rachel Morgan to repair the ever-after before the fragile equalize between magic users and human beings falls apart.

Of course, there’s also the tiny fact that Rachel may be the one who caused the ley line about Ever After to rip in the first place, and her life is forfeit unless she can fix it. Not forgetting the most powerful demon in the ever-after-the soul-eater Ku’Sox Sha-Ku’ru-has vowed to demolish her, and provides kidnapped her friend and her goddaughter as leverage. If Rachel doesn’t provide herself up, they will die.

Forced by circumstance, Rachel groups up with elven tycoon Trent Kalamack-a partnership fraught with dangers of the heart aswell as betrayal from the soul-to return to the ever-after and rescue those she loves. One globe teeters around the brink of interspecies battle, the other over the brink of its very demise-and it’s up to Rachel to keep them both from being destroyed.
