Sometimes the most infuriating partner is exactly who you need.
Jayne wants to focus on finding her missing father. The CIA has other plans: Go to Rome, acquire a necromantic grimoire linked to a fire goddess, and-oh, by the way-work with an arrogant new partner who knows exactly how to push every single one of her buttons.
This book delivers:
Enemies-to-allies tension with a new magical partnerThe Roman adventure you've been craving (ancient ruins, Vatican secrets, fire magic)Real progress on the missing father storylineThe discovery of a secret magical society on the brink of extinctionFor readers who love competence paired with banter, this is where Jayne really comes into her own. She's not a rookie anymore-she's a magical operative who can hold her own against terror organizations while verbally sparring with a smug magician who might actually be useful.
The grimoire count: 3 down, 2 to go. The father mystery: Getting closer.
If you loved the first two books, Book 3 gives you the Roman setting, family revelations, and proof that Jayne's sister is just as fierce as she is.
