Secrets have consequences-and so do truths. I've been outed as a Legacy and there's nothing I can do but deal with the aftermath. I thought I could handle it-I was wrong. The city is in chaos, and I have more enemies than allies. Some that I once called allies have quickly become my betrayers. Just when I didn't think things could get any worse, Conner resurfaces and he's ready to make everyone pay. Especially me. He's the least of my worries: a supernatural assassin has been brought in to kill all the Legacy-and he's good at his job. One by one we are being killed off. Gareth, my only true ally, has his own problems dealing with another group that is set on ridding the world of supernaturals. Unless I can get the assassin before he gets me and Gareth can stop an organization bent on xenophobic destruction, we don't stand a chance in hell of surviving this.

The only thing standing between me and death is my secret. I'm a Legacy-a secret I'd planned on taking to my grave. Gareth, the enigmatic leader of the Supernatural Guild, knows it, but can I trust him to keep it? When mysterious deaths occur as a result of magic that mimics my own, I no longer have to worry about Gareth exposing me - it will be one of my own that does. Another Legacy is causing the chaos, and I'm forced to hunt my own kind. It seems simple, but we've existed for as long as we have because we're better hunters than prey. I'm forced to work with Gareth to clear my name and find the Legacy responsible. Not only is my secret about to be revealed-so is his. Gareth is much more dangerous than I expected. Is he my friend or my enemy?

My people, the Legacy, were responsible for the first supernatural war, and now I'm tasked with preventing the second.
