The fifth Raine Benares novel from the New York Times bestselling author of the SPI Files series.

Raine Benares is a seeker who finds lost things and people. Ever since the Saghred, a soul-stealing stone that's given her unlimited power, has bonded to her, the goblin king and the elves have wanted to possess its magic themselves. Which means a goblin thief and her ex-fiancé—an elven assassin—are after her. To survive, she'll need the help of her notorious criminal family. They've run elaborate scams before, but none involving this much money, government officials this highly ranked, or a war this close to starting...

Ratings and reviews

If you can get past the fact that she reuses phrases again and again with the same exact wording, you have a good, solid story, with characters you can care about and action that'll have you at the edge of your seat. I like the books, and look forward to the next.
