Book description
Allie Beckstrom knows better than most that there's a price to pay
for using magic; she's suffered her fair share of migraines and gaps
in her memory during her time working as a Hound, tracing spells back
to their casters. But now Allie's been visibly marked by it with a
mysterious iridescent tattoo. She's not only lost all memory of how
she got it, but also of the man that she's supposedly fallen in love
with. Oh, and as usual, she's completely broke.
So when the criminal magic enforcement division of the police asks
her to consult on a missing persons case, things start to look up. At
first, it seems to be a fairly straightforward way of earning some
money but like most things in Allie's life it soon turns into a
dangerous mix of underworld criminals, ghosts and blood magic. This
time Allie is going to discover it takes more than magic to survive .
. .
