Their reunion is cut short as Caliban remains in a vicious battle with a Phoenician goddess after Marlow's escape.

Adam is not having a good day. First, he finds out his very long-time boyfriend has been having an affair. Then, his dramatic exit becomes a little too dramatic when he ends up dead. To top it off, he finds out that the afterlife isn't at all what he expected (he has no desire to learn to play the harp, thank you very much). Fortunately for him, some afterlife bureaucratic screw-up ends him up with the most smoking-hot demon he's ever seen, and he decides he's keeping him. Maybe the afterlife won't be so bad after all.

Towns like Vicki's have no distance from the Others, the dominant predators that rule most of the land and all of the water throughout the world. And when a place has no boundaries, you never really know what's out there watching you.

Marlow ist sich sicher, dass etwas mit ihr nicht stimmt. Die Alternative wäre, sich einzugestehen, dass sie die Gabe – oder den Fluch – ihrer Mutter und Großmutter geerbt hat: Sie kann Engel und Dämonen sehen, darunter eine dunkle und heimtückische Kreatur, die Marlow ihr ganzes Leben lang begleitet hat.

Ein Fürst, der nun verschwunden ist.
