As the only vampire ever born, and the daughter of two very powerful Chicago vampires, Elisa Sullivan knew her life was going to be…unusual. But she wanted to make her own way in the world, preferably away from her famous family. Then supernatural politics—and perhaps a bit of destiny—intervened, and Elisa had to steady her nerves and sharpen her steel to fight for the city of Chicago. Luckily, Connor Keene, son of the North American Central Pack’s Apex wolf, is right by her side.
When Elisa and her Ombudsman colleagues agree to escort a vulnerable supernatural to Chicago, they inadvertently set in motion a scheme of long-awaited magical vengeance. The city may pay an arcane price it can’t afford unless Elisa and her allies rise to the challenge.

Neill's fourth entry in the Heirs of Chicagoland series (after Shadowed Steel, 2021) starts with Elisa Sullivan getting the call to rescue a supernatural informant, Rose, from a Chicago-area bedroom community. But Rose disappears after a freak ghost attack at a historical landmark. Digging into the incident, Elisa and her colleagues uncover a secret hidden since the Chicago fire--a chaos demon wreaked havoc on the city in 1872. Worse, that demon is Rose, and Elisa and her partner are responsible for getting Rose through the wards that have kept her out of Chicago. Elisa's problems don't stop there. In addition to catching Rose, Elisa must help her shape-shifter boyfriend, Connor, stave off interlopers looking to destabilize the Pack while coping with the revelation that her best friend, Lulu, can only work dark magic. There's also the little problem of her vampire clan home disappearing, with Connor's, Lulu's, and her parents all inside. There is a lot going on within the novel and its multiple subplots, but fans of Neill's will enjoy returning to the world of Cadogan House and those connected to it.COPYRIGHT(2022) Booklist, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
