Six months have passed since Jackie Brighton's New Orleans adventure and she is knee-deep in a university-sponsered achaelogy dig in Yucatan, Mexico, finally letting things get back to normal--whatever that is. But with a surprise phone call from Remy, saying she's lost her magic charm that keeps the evil spirit Joachim at bay--and a surprise visit from the Serim Council and Archangel Gabriel that leaves her and Noah under arrest--Jackie's life spins out of control. Again.

With a plea bargain offer from the angel Ariel, Jackie doesn't have many options: she can take the plea and save herself, she can wait to be sex-starved in punishment, orshe can escape. Option three it is. But with her freedom comes even more drama--the vampire Queen Nitrocris is back and threatens to destroy Jackie if she doesn't stop Remy's rampage. Now, paired up with her ex-lover, Zane, and their watchguard vampire Caleb, Jackie must find a way to stop Remy, save Noah, and trap Joachim once and for all.
