No one creates realms like New York Times bestselling author Anne Bishop. Now in a thrilling new fantasy series, enter a world inhabited by the Others, unearthly entities€"vampires and shape-shifters among them€"who rule the Earth and whose prey are humans.
As a cassandra sangue, or blood prophet, Meg Corbyn can see the future when her skin is cut€"a gift that feels more like a curse. Meg€s Controller keeps her enslaved so he can have full access to her visions. But when she escapes, the only safe place Meg can hide is at the Lakeside Courtyard€"a business district operated by the Others.
Shape-shifter Simon Wolfgard is reluctant to hire the stranger who inquires about the Human Liaison job. First, he senses she€s keeping a secret, and second, she doesn€t smell like human prey. Yet a stronger instinct propels him to give Meg the job. And when he learns the truth about Meg and that she€s wanted by the government, he€ll have to decide if she€s worth the fight between humans and the Others that will surely follow.
