***The sequel to Affliction*** Events in Seattle went to hell. Good people died and Sydney was left with the psychic echo of a monster in her head, a growing influence that feeds upon her own psi affliction to gain a foothold, to try and take her body as his own. His presence, her lover's death, the growing intolerance of psi in the world, drove her to quit the police force and leave Seattle. Now Sydney is lost in the world, trying to forget her past and find her place, but the past can't be left behind so easily. An old enemy is coming for her, new enemies are in front of her, and a meddlesome werewolf is about to pop back into her life. Petty sheriffs, missing kids, sociopathic Psis, a basement prison, psychotic werewolves and really bad taste in one night stands... what's a girl to do?
