When I quit my gig as a fortune teller to become Oracle, I should've known there'd be strings attached. Olympic-sized strings. After Apollo freed the Titans from Tartarus, we waited for his next move. And waited. And waited. The days turned into weeks, weeks turned into months, months turned into years. However, we didn’t sit around twiddling our thumbs. We trained. The Supernatural Council of the Americas met. We coordinated with ISEA to prepare without alarming the mundanes. Bringing mundane attention, therefore, belief and the power that yields to Apollo was the last thing we wanted to do.

Just when I thought I had it all, something foul is afoot in Milagro Bay. On our morning run, Cerberus retrieved the unlikeliest of gifts—a foot with a limited-edition sneaker that could belong to none other than Lucky Joey, one of Carlo’s crew. Worse than the murder of my ex’s erstwhile friend, Luke is missing. My enemies wanted me out of the picture, and they’re about to get it with two more murders that point to me as the culprit.

June’s life is in limbo. Since being the personal assistant to her twin brother does not include helping wrangle his lizards up on the International Space Station—thank God—she’s got free time on her hands. Which for her, usually means trouble. But not this time. Nope, she’s just going to relax, avoid any sort of publicity, steer clear of her brother's nutty fans The Dewzers, and just hang out with Morgan. Except he's on his first case as a private eye and he needs to make one little stop. Where June's attacked by a ninja. Well that escalated quickly.

Rafael Aguado hopes to calm the waters between him and Cat, but that's hard to do when she'd rather see him boil alive. Maybe the water elemental could cool her off with time, but he has romantic competition. Rafael lost Cat to a handsome earth elemental years ago, and he refuses to let his rival win again. Even if it means kissing the hell out of the magical man to throw him off balance.

For June Nash, Las Vegas is the break she needs from her brother’s book tour. Slots, crab legs, and two days out from under her mother’s disappointed gaze. Then she accidentally volunteers to solve a murder. Now, she’s saddled with a stray dog named Enzo, under attack from the glitter happy Unicorn Protector League, and in the crosshairs of two blasts from the past.

Recovering from a gunshot wound is the easy part. Boston cop, Keith Cho, discovers coming to grips with his partner’s death requires a different sort of medicine. He’ll start a cross country road trip with seeing his partner’s sister, Samantha Bates. Sam can’t hide the injuries or the backpack she’s hauling as she hikes away from town. Fleeing from her abusive ex-boyfriend is key. When she and Keith reconnect on a back country road, he insists she come with him.

My success defines me. Nothing can hold me down. Not tragedy, not circumstances or accidents, not family. I overcame every setback and hurdle that fate threw my way, and now, as a self-made billionaire, I can say that anything is possible. Almost anything. A stranger saved my life after a car accident that left me on a razor’s edge, fighting for my life. That beautiful girl with turquoise eyes. And when I recovered, I couldn’t repay that unconditional kindness. I couldn’t even thank her. She was gone.
