Synopsis

Cassie has only recently learned that she is a half goddess, and she is still figuring out her unreliable powers. After a failed burglary of a vampire mob boss's booby-trapped office, she has become the supernatural world's new chief seer, the Pythia. Her to-do list is long: rescue a friend from a terrible fate, manage a master vampire whose possessiveness is escalating, and stop her own acolytes from unleashing chaos on the world, all while keeping the powers she barely understands under control.
