After the Rupture happened, everything changed. Virginia Vane is a disgraced, former cop who couldn't leave the casework behind. A jaded private investigator in Verdance, she spends all of her free time working on cold cases involving mythics. When her ex shows up as the new sheriff of police, she's thrown into one of the most frustrating murder investigations of her life - and the bodies keep showing up all over the city. She knows the local crews are behind it, but she can't prove it - not yet. First, she has to find what they've all been looking for - an inferno witch.
