From nurturing gods to the darkest demons, from treasured keepsakes in a mahogany chest to strangers lurking in the shadows, her days are filled with darkness and adventure.

Can she prevent the Taken from securing Grannie's treasures? Will others suffer for her efforts? Twists and turns await the reader as her story unfolds.
