Allison Beckstrom's magic has taken its toll on her, physically marking her and erasing her memories—including those of the man she supposedly loves. But lost memories aren't the only things preying on Allie's thoughts.
Her late father, the prominent businessman—and sorcerer—Daniel Beckstrom, has somehow channeled himself into her very mind. With the help of the Authority, a secret organization of magic users, she hopes to gain better control over her own abilities—and find a way to deal with her father.

"The best of this series so far, after two starter books we are starting to get into the meat of the setting with new characters and concepts that start to tie the world together and give it more flavor. I hope that Monk has more setting development in store for us going into the next book."
— Robert (4 out of 5 stars)
" I am absolutely hooked on Devon Monk and he's imagination! No pretty wands and fairy godmothers here! A wonderful combination of action, fantasy and kicking ass. "
— Melissa, 8/10/2017" I don't know how, but they just keep getting better. Monk writes on the level of Butcher and Hamilton AFTER they were 5 books into their series'. Monk writes like that from book 1 ! "

— Sarah, 12/11/2013" It took me a REALLY long time to get into this one. Got more interesting when the gargoyle showed up, but it was still a bit of a slog for me. "
— Amy, 11/3/2013" What I like about Allie Beckstrom is that she's not too angsty, a little bit naive, tough, self-sufficient but sweetly wanting and valuing her relationships, and believably afraid of what she needs to be afraid. Very human. I'd choose her as a friend. "
— Michelle, 9/26/2013" This one was alright. Nothing too much that kept me anxiously turning the pages, but I 'm interested to see how the new story line with the Authority turns out. "
— Michelle, 7/27/2013" Read from 11/10 - 11/16. "
