When the Obsidian Circle expresses interest in her brother, a teen turns to the notorious Nick and Alan for help in this thrilling second book in the Demon's Lexicon urban fantasy trilogy set in the unforgiving magical underground of London.

Mae Crawford has always thought of herself as in control, but in the last few weeks her life has changed.
