(A warning from the author:

There are still some dark passages, but less than the previous two books. The story is now well under way.

I don't think it’s essential to have read either of the previous two volumes in the series, but you will find yourself in the deep end of the pool!)

Leeth: Experimental subject. Government assassin.

Threat to all humanity.

2063, 27 years after magic unexpectedly returned to our world. In the Dumps outside New Francisco, eighteen-year-old Leeth is on the run. She doesn’t regret sacrificing her future to save her friend, but both the ruthless covert agency she worked for, and her controlling uncle, want her back.

Despite the loneliness and hardships, Leeth is relishing her freedom, and is still determined to honor the promises she’s made.

But thanks to an insane mage’s tampering with meta-magical Archetypes, a uniquely altered killer is hunting her. And in this case, what she doesn’t know can doom her – and after her, everyone else.
