Whenever he wakes up, he just about scares to death all the dogs, sheep, goats, and people for miles around. The dragon is curious and he is hungry. Goodness knows what he’ll eat and what damage he’ll do before he goes back to his cave. Only one person has a chance of stopping him, an old woman with a weak body and a very strong will.

Rachel Morgan is back and in more trouble than ever in the second novel in Kim Harrison's addictive supernatural Hollows series! Former bounty hunter Rachel Morgan has it pretty good. She's left the corrupt Inderland Runner Service and started her own independent service. She's survived werewolves, shape-changing demons, bad hair days, and sharing a church with her vampire roommate, Ivy. She even has a cute (if human) boyfriend -- what more could a witch want? But living with a reformed vampire isn't all it's cracked up to be, particularly when your roommate's ex-boyfriend wants her back and wouldn't mind you in the process. And especially when he's six feet of sheer supernatural seduction, and you've got a demon mark that makes vampires literally hotter than hell. To save herself and Ivy, Rachel must confront the vampire master -- and the dark secrets she's hidden even from herself. “[Rachel Morgan's] a protagonist that blends the best qualities of Anita Blake and Stephanie Plum. “ -- Jim Butcher, author of Death Masks Born and raised in Tornado Alley, Kim Harrison now resides in the more sultry climes of South Carolina.
