Agent of Magic

A bloody ritual left my sister in a coma. I'm going to get her back. It's been two years, 17 days, and 12 hours since I discovered my sister's body surrounded by witchcraft and black magic. She's barely kept alive by machines - and if I can't pay the bill this month, the mages at Fallen Oaks will pull the plug. So when my ex-employer shows up at my door with a possible cure, it's tempting to slip back into my role as a killer for hire. One job, he tells me, and I could have the answers I need to save Cat for good. The only problem is, I'll be working for vampires - the same soulless creatures I used to hunt. According to them, my mark is about to release a modified version of the wolf plague that will decimate the supernatural races. They say I'll be doing the world a favor. I don't care about the politics, I'm just trying to save my sister. But when I arrive in Belize with my vampire entourage, the mark isn't what she seems, and the man protecting her is my ex-boyfriend. The same one who testified against me when the Trust took away my magic. Dominic freaking Finch. Wizard first class, ex-army badass, and a terrific kisser. And now, the only obstacle in the way of completing my mission. Thanks to him, I'm not allowed to use my arsenal of enchanted weapons, as decreed by the magical governing body we both used to work for. I've spent the last year at the bottom of a bottle, holed up with a baby dragon and a very grumpy faerie. But if I can prove who was really behind the ritual that destroyed my sister, I might just get my life back. For Cat to live, someone has to die. Luckily, I'm great at killing people.

I thought death would be a one-way trip. I was wrong. After a botched assassination attempt, I took a bullet to the heart. That should have put me down for good, but the vampire lord who hired me for the job tied my soul to an Aztec demon. Now I'm stranded on an island full of rabid wolves, my only companion the trigger-happy ex-boyfriend who shot me. The supernatural community thinks I'm a traitor, and my own sister thinks I'm a murderer. Our only chance is to ally with the wolves. But with each new death, the demon takes a little more control, granting me unexpected powers, but erasing my identity. It won't be long until nothing's left but the raging monster who wants to burn the world. In a desperate attempt to clear my name and save my sister, I uncover a vampire conspiracy, battle undead pirates, plunder a crypt beneath Paris, and ruin a wedding party. And just when I think it's all over, I discover the shocking truth: that I've tipped the scales towards an apocalyptic vision that will destroy the world.

I thought death would be a one-way trip. I was wrong. I thought killing the vampire who bound my soul to an Aztec demon would be the end of it. But instead of saving the thousands of infected wolves he'd the Trust had quarantined, I'd condemned them to a fiery death… and I was not prepared for what I found on the scorched island. In a last-ditch effort to contain an imminent apocalypse, I challenged a demon-possessed former colleague to an infernal duel he could not refuse. Now, along with a motley crew of shades and mages, I need to sneak into the Aztec underworld, face the ancient and powerful god of death, and somehow return again without getting the man I love killed.
