As a relentless enemy uses the turquoise path against the shapeshifters of the southwest, officer Hosteen Sikaadii finds himself the captive of an ageless vampire who has a plan to unravel reality and remake the world in his own image. It's up to Hosteen to learn how the vampire can be stopped... if he can be stopped at all.
Meanwhile, Ellery Chee and her ragtag band of Paras have devised a clever but desperate plan to stop the creature who hunts them. They'll turn the magic of the desert itself against their sworn enemy--but even the desert's ancient power may not be enough to save them from destruction.
As they fight for survival and for control of their magic, betrayal comes from within their ranks. And the vampire Marco devises an entirely new kind of magic... one that no one knows how to face. Magic is inborn. It can't be acquired... or can it?
This is Book 2 of the Turquoise Path series. Book 3, Blue Sky Break.
