"Enter the dangerous city of St. Paradise - where clan secrets and allegiances rule the land. The city is built on blood magic, a power that cannot be undone by any means known to its denizens or founding clans; the flamboyant Gonzales, the powerful Solarin, the mysterious Herons, the mercenary Goldshots, or the healers the Cades, whose very land can sense the presence of interlopers. Eclipse - the deceptively sweet-looking heir of the Orinabe clan, who were nearly wiped out in a vicious attack years ago on the Hound river - sometimes slips out into neutral territory to go dancing among civilians and pretend she is not burdened by the blood magic within her veins and that of the other founding clan. But Eclipse cannot escape her destiny as Orinabe heir, and when she strikes up a relationship with Noah Solarin on clan orders, neither Eclipse nor Noah understand the extent of the other's deception until their fates become dangerously entangled. When Wolf, the Second of the Goldshots, breaks with his clan and takes refuge with the Herons, he sets in motion a vicious power struggle within St. Paradise that will lead him, the beautiful spy Kilo Heron, Noah, and Eclipse down a brutal cycle of revenge that can only end in destruction or transformation"-- Provided by publisher.
