For her best friend, Lexi would journey through hell and back. Just as well, because that's exactly what she must do to save her friend and their allies....

Lexi Jardine may be a thief, but she's not stupid. When a crooked fireshaper wants her to steal a ring from the boss of his order, she knows it's a one-way ticket to sleeping with the fishes....

Lexi didn't set out to steal a god's ring, but when a magic artifact starts trying to talk to you, what's a girl supposed to do? She's always had the ability to talk to animals....

My kind of magic involves Tarot cards, not shape-shifting, but I've been bitten. Now I'm a werewolf, forced to join my sworn enemies. I need to find a cure for lycanthropy fast and get the heck out of Dodge.

Never trust a werewolf. I'm the weakest cartomancer who ever lived, but I can use Tarot cards to work magic. Most days. That makes me the natural prey of the Soldiers of the Light, the jumped-up werewolves who police the magic community....

Lexi is back from the underworld, heartsore but determined to exact some sweet vengeance on the shadow shapers. To do that, she'll need Zeus's help, but Zeus is trapped in the wires, slowly disintegrating into nothingness. Without his lightning bolt, he's toast.

Talk about out of the frying pan and into the fire. Jake, the man of Lexi's dreams, is trapped in the underworld. Only Hades can free him, but Hades is missing, presumably a captive of the shadow shapers.
