Publisher's Synopsis
WHEN A MASSIVE EARTHQUAKE THREATENS AMERICA'S HEARTLAND, LONE-WOLF AGENT VALLON DRAKE MUST OVERCOME BETRAYAL AND OVERWHELMING ODDS TO SAVE THE COUNTRY IN THIS SEXY FANTASY NOVEL OF MYSTERY AND ADVENTURE.
The American Geological Survey, a secret arm of Homeland Security, protects America from foreign terrorists and America's Gifted population-people who can reshape the landscape with their strange power. While agents of the AGS share the same power, Homeland Security suspects that Gifted motives might not benefit normal human populations.
Chafing under the desk-duty restrictions placed on her, Vallon Drake monitors a massive quake in the Missouri heartland. The quake's power rolls across America, destroying everything in its path-until Vallon and her AGS colleagues undo the damage. In the wake of the quake, key agents posted near the quake's source disappear. Knowing she is their most powerful agent, the AGS sends Vallon on a classified mission to discover what happened and stop those responsible.
In the steamy Mississippi Valley, Vallon investigates but, as always, her 'Gift' exacts a high cost. To discover the fate of the agents she must deal with layers of betrayal both past and present and confront the mastermind behind a plot so chilling it could spell the end of the AGS-and of America.
But saving America comes at a cost...
If you like Harry Dresden, but with a unique magic stirred into the mix, you'll enjoy the daring adventures of Vallon Drake.
