Now the Grail was missing and Demons were escaping from Hell through the Gateway in the basement. Lucy couldn't deal with this alone and her friend Saffron was the only person she could ask to help. Then they met Matthew Brown and the fight was on...

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.

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. . . .
