As a Chinese adoptee in St. Louis, teenage Daiyu often feels out of place. When an elderly Asian jewelry seller at a street fair shows her a black jade ring--and tells her that "black jade" translates to "Daiyu"--she buys it as a talisman of her heritage. But it's more than that; it's magic. It takes Daiyu through a gateway into a version of St. Louis much like 19th-century China. Almost immediately she is recruited as a spy, which means hours of training in manners and niceties and sleight of hand. It also means stealing time to be with handsome Kalen, who is in on the plan. There's only one problem. Once her task is done, she must go back to St. Louis and leave him behind forever. . . .

Furthermore, the demon, Giselle, continues to stalk him in an effort to take him hostage and use his knowledge to shift the Balance toward evil. To make matters worse, jealousy over Cassia has placed Wil at odds with his best friend, Scott, who has developed the ability to see her as she truly exists. Will Wil be able to see past the magical manipulation before the Trisect destroys the Balance, or will he give in to Giselle's temptations once and for all?

Wealth ... or death. Those were the choices Gateway offered. Humans had discovered this artificial spaceport, full of working interstellar ships left behind by the mysterious, vanished Heechee.
