Keira Kelly is a member of a powerful paranormal family, but she's chosen to
live apart from her clan and among humans in the Texas Hill country. She still
has family duties, though, like keeping an eye on her cousin Marty -- a
genetic aberration who turned out, poor guy, 100% human. Other than having
to deal with her money-grubbing cuz, she's also having violent dreams -- perhaps
visions --
featuring Marty as the victim of a viscious murder. Something sinister is going
on in Rio Sicco
and Kiera needs to get to the bottom of it while avoiding entanglement with her
former lover, Sheriff Carlton Larson. When the irrestible and enigmatic Adam
Walker,
an old acquaintance, shows up and wants to get better acquainted, Keira is
ready to be friendly -- but there are clues that Adam could be connected to the
murder.
