Synopsis
Gin Blanco, crime boss of Ashland's underworld, wields Ice and Stone magic and relies on a makeshift family of cops, criminals, dwarves and playboys. When her foster brother Finnegan Lane's long-lost relative reappears under suspicious circumstances, Finn becomes absorbed in the reunion and seems to pull away from Gin. Gin suspects the newcomer is scheming and vows to stop anyone who hurts Finn. The book is the fourteenth in the Elemental Assassin series and follows directly on the events of Spider's Trap, so the situation Gin faces grows out of the underworld power struggle she has just survived. The novel is the fourteenth book in Jennifer Estep's Elemental Assassin series, set in the city of Ashland.
