About this ebook
IT’S A THIN LINE BETWEEN ALIVE AND UNDEAD.
Chess Putnam has a lot on her plate. Mangled human corpses have started to show up on the streets of Downside, and Chess’s bosses at the Church of Real Truth have ordered her to team up with the ultra-powerful Black Squad agency to crack the grisly case.
Chess is under a binding spell that threatens death if she talks about the investigation, but the city’s most notorious crime boss—and Chess’s drug dealer—gets wind of her new assignment and insists on being kept informed. If that isn’t bad enough, a sinister street vendor appears to have information Chess needs. Only he’s not telling what he knows, or what it all has to do with the vast underground City of Eternity.
Now Chess will have to navigate killer wraiths, First Elders, and a lot of seriously nasty magic—all while coping with some not-so-small issues of her own. And the only man Chess can trust to help her through it all has every reason to want her dead.

Chess is still in her dark, dank, dangerous world. Her trip through the ugliness of her world wraps around your soul, and takes you for a wild ride. Her betrayal of Terrible, rips at her and drives her into feelings she does not understand. Her past has left her with "emotional retardation" as she so beautifully states.
She has to fight a strong and exhausting force, one that will take her to the edge of her life. The Church bounds her to a secret case, tying her to a spoiled princess she must work with. The princess is not street smart nor is any use to Chess. Hiding her drugs,her friends, her life becomes almost too much an top of everything else. Everything she knows and loves will be tested, the out come....
I loved the ending, it satisfied me enough I don't feel tortured till the next book comes out. Thank You to the author !
