Makkai Gypsy Queen Bella has known her entire life that she would one day lead a tribe, fighting supernatural forces using her abilities as a leader and with crystal magic. She knew that she would do important things, and that she would be a renowned queen, but what she didn't anticipate was how much it would cost her. Now Bella faces the most important decisions of her career, and a sorcerer who might just be powerful enough to end the entire thing.

Bella was safe. The tribe was working, and everything should have been as it was supposed to be.But there was a new threat, one to little sister Dawn, and this one they know almost nothing about. Someone is looking for her, looking for the box of crystals that she guards. The Makkai Gypsies are up against a new foe, but instead of targeting the strongest of them, this one is after the weakest.Dawn is going to have to figure out how much risk she's willing to take with her own life if she wants to stay with the tribe any longer.

It gets worse before it gets better. Sam left her. It wasn't really Jason's decision, so he went along with it at the time, but he's regretted it ever since. Now they have to deal with the consequences. Samantha is back, but nothing is the same and it looks like it may never be, again. Carly, Sam's demonic ex-girlfriend, has put him under a spell that's likely to kill both Sam and Samantha, if they aren't careful. If they do manage to survive, they still have Carly's self-absorbed boss to deal with, plus a horde of zombies that Samantha says aren't zombies at all. Samantha may be a shaman with a knack for knowing the right things at the right times, but even she may not be able to get them out of this unscathed.
