Book description
Nobody said juggling a career and a relationship would be easy... Wren
Valere used to have a simple life. Her partner Sergei would negotiate
the terms of the Retrieval--all right, the theft--and she would use her
magical Talent to carry it out. Paycheck deposited, on to the next job.
Now? Her relationship with Sergei is even more complicated (sex will do
that). Her fellow lonejacks are trying to organize against the Mage's
Council. The nonhuman population of Manhattan is getting fed up with
being ignored and abused. And the Council? Well, they have an agenda of
their own, and it's not one the lonejacks are going to like. When it
comes down to choosing sides, the first rule of the lonejack credo is
"Don't get involved." But when friends are in danger, and the
city you love is at risk, sometimes getting into the thick of things is
all you can do.... Nobody said juggling a career and a relationship
