A council contract, an obscure relic, and a lethal vendetta blindside Rory with dodgy ramifications and pitch her into a slippery tailspin. With the addition of her Arcane Council contracts, Rory Costas's Transporter career has kicked into high gear, but their latest request might be the one that sends her careening off course. The Arcane Council is determined to hunt down the notorious Heretic Key and are willing to use all available resources in their need for retribution, resources like Rory and her partner, the lethal Hunter, Zev Aslanov. With Zev already on the Heretic's trail and closing in, Rory's assignment seems simple enough, team up with a Council agent to validate an obscure relic and then utilized a little bait and switch to lure the Heretic into the open so Zev can take him down. But as seems to be the case lately, nothing stays on track. Blindsided by the unexpected, Rory is faced with an impossible choice that pits her integrity against her heart, and even she's not sure which will cross the finish line. When the dust finally settles, will Rory crash into a dead end or reclaim enough traction to survive unfamiliar roads? Strap in for Rory's pulse-pounding ride and brace for impact in this breath-stealing urban fantasy installment of the Arcane Transporter!
