He knows Wolfgang's secret. He understands the pull of magical possession on vulnerable souls. Together, they are the only force strong enough to battle crime kingpin Etienne La Plante.

Last but not least, he’s got to broker a deal between the biggest elven street gang in Seattle and a vicious Triad gang—and not get himself killed in the bargain.

His eyes tell another story, though, and I need to know what it is. It becomes almost an obsession.

Emperor Wray Vasteri was the ruler of the Tornian Empire. His house had ruled the empire ever since the great infection, which struck over 500 years ago, and he feared he would be the last.
