"Dean Campbell can see and sense things that others cannot--an extraordinary ability that drew the ex-cop to the Dirk & Steele Detective Agency, a global association of more-than-human men and women. Dean and his peers--shapeshifters, psychics, and other paranormals--are dedicated to protecting life. But there are those who live for destruction. Now Dean's investigation into a series of unthinkable killings is calling him to Taipei, where a pattern is emerging that is more deadly than anything he could have foreseen. At the center is a power that could change the world ... and the woman who can truly complete him: Mirabelle Lee, the girl Dean loved in his youth, the childhood sweetheart he once believed dead. Now that his heart has been reawakened, he will not lose her again--even as the forces of an immortal evil gather to destroy them and everything they love."--Back cover.
