Next in the New York Times bestselling urban fantasy series featuring Cassie Palmer, whose ability to see the future and talk to ghosts gets her mixed up with vampires, fae, and non-stop action.
Ever since being stuck with the job of pythia, the chief seer of the supernatural world, Cassie Palmer has been playing catch up. Catch up on the lifetime’s worth of training she missed being raised by a psychotic vampire instead of at the fabled pythian court. Catch up on the powerful, and sometimes seductive, forces trying to mold her to their will. It’s been a trial by fire that has left her more than a little burned.
But now she realizes that all that was just the warm up for the real race. Ancient powers that once terrorized the world are trying to return, and Cassie is the only one who can stop them...
The series

But everything changes when she is thrust into the role of Pythia, the chief seer of the supernatural world, a position that brings with it unimaginable power and even greater peril.
