About the Book
No one creates realms like New York Times bestselling author
Anne Bishop. Now in a thrilling new fantasy series, enter a world
inhabited by the Others, unearthly entities — vampires and shape-shifters
among them — who rule the Earth and whose prey are humans.
As a cassandra sangue, or blood prophet, Meg Corbyn can see the future when her skin is cut — a
gift that feels more like a curse. Meg’s Controller keeps her enslaved
so he can have full access to her visions. But when she escapes, the
only safe place Meg can hide is at the Lakeside Courtyard — a business
district operated by the Others.
Shape-shifter Simon Wolfgard is reluctant to hire the stranger who inquires about the Human Liaison
job. First, he senses she’s keeping a secret, and second, she doesn’t
smell like human prey. Yet a stronger instinct propels him to give Meg
the job. And when he learns the truth about Meg and that she’s wanted by the government, he’ll have to decide if she’s worth the fight between
humans and the Others that will surely follow.
