Samantha Abraham has the power to magically control her boyfriend's every action, but now someone wants that power--and wants him dead. After the fallout from Heart of Stone, Sam has learned the truth: that her boyfriend, Joshua, was created in a lab by a mysterious scientist known only as The Professor. A magical ruby gives her the power to control him by thought. It seems like the perfect relationship, until a gauntlet of assassins show up in River City with murder on their minds. On a quest for the truth that takes her to Toronto and into the den of her enemies, can Sam, Duckie, and hockey-hunk Rick save Joshua’s life before it all goes to hell?

Samantha Abraham lost everything when she lost Joshua--but the fight for the ruby, and what it means, isn't over yet. Sam is back in River City and the events of Heart of Clay have left her raw. If deranged necromancers were bad, you’d think Debbie and her slugs would be small potatoes, but Sam’s life has gone straight back to hell in her senior year. even with her high level hapkido skills, and a budding relationship with hockey hunk Rick Hansen, nothing seems to fill the gaping hole that Joshua and Duckie’s disappearances have left . . . But just as suddenly as he vanished, Joshua reappears with grave tidings, and Sam must decide what lengths she’ll go to prevent her life--and her boyfriend’s body--from falling apart.
