On-the-run ex-agent Peri Reed returns bigger and bolder than ever in the second installment of New York Times bestselling Kim Harrison's new trilogy . . .

Peri Reed's job destroys her memories, but for a special task agent in hiding, forgetting the past can be a blessing.

Betrayed by the man she thought she loved and the agency who turned her into the very thing she fought against, Peri abandoned the wealth and privilege of Opti for anonymity riddled with memory gaps and self-doubt. But when a highly addictive drug offers her the opportunity to use her abilities without the side-effects, Peri sees a chance to have it all. No more having her memories rewritten by those who would use her, no more fear of being vulnerable, no more hiding . . .

Peri has a choice to make: remain broken and vulnerable, or return to the above-the-law power and prestige she once held. But if she takes the drug, whoever holds her next fix may just hold her loyalty.
