Day-walking demon Rachel Morgan has made an astounding discovery that will upset the power balance in the world. The souls of undead vampires are not gone but trapped in the Ever After, and the vampires want their souls back at all costs. The elves want to release the souls, hoping that the master vampires will commit suicide when they regain their souls. The demons hope to use this as an opportunity to leave the Ever After. Rachel has (finally!) gotten together with former elf leader Trent Kalamak, but the two are right in the middle of the power struggle, and Rachel's guilt at the sacrifices that Trent has made so that they can be together is eating away at her.
VERDICT This is the final volume in Harrison's beloved series (after The Undead Pool) and there are a lot of loose ends to tie up, most of which are dealt with quite satisfactorily. Series fans will love the high-stakes action and will be anxious to find out how it all ends for Rachel. [See Prepub Alert, 5/19/14; see also the Q&A with Harrison in Eric Norton's "A Multiplicity of Realms," p. 22.
