Jane True always knew she wasn't quite normal - but she never expected to discover she had a supernatural heritage. Now she's struggling to hone her new-found powers as a halfing, including her affinity over water. Luckily, her steamy relationship with vampire Ryu helps to keep her mind off things somewhat . . .

But Jane's life won't get simpler any time soon. While visiting Ryu in Boston, she becomes entangled in an investigation involving a spree of gruesome killings. All evidence points towards a being of tremendous power - who, much to Jane's surprise, may just turn out to be another halfling.
