James Black has taken a job protecting a young mage from those who want to exploit his powers. All in a day's work for New York's resident monster hunter, except that those people include the fanatical Left Hand of God, the twisted Blood Brotherhood and the terrifying Arthur Black, James's own father. James is outnumbered and outmatched and it will take more than magic powers and witty remarks to save him this time. Secrets will be revealed. People will die. Nothing will ever be the same again.
