Rachel Morgan is the witch-born demon responsible for keeping the paranormal community at peace and in line. Although things seem peaceful in Cinncinati, things soon go awry when the vampires' ruling council insists she escort one of the long undead, hell-bent on proving that Rachel killed Cincy's master vampire to take over the city. But this trickster has his own agenda. In the end, the only way for Rachel to save herself and the city may be to forge a new understanding with her estranged demon teacher, Al. There's just one problem: Al would sell his own soul to be rid of her.
