Summary
I'd like something to go right. Just one damn time.
That's the thought running through Anita Blake's mind as she's bundled into a van and flown out of New York State by a pride of cutthroat werelions. Seized on the cusp of her wedding to Jeanette, Anita is forced to accept a sinister deal: raise a zombie for an enigmatic client, or face dire consequences.
An insane ex-client has captured Anita's friends, wielding them as leverage with a chilling ultimatum: comply or watch them die, one by one. But if she does what her captor is asking, she'll be guilty of magical malfeasance, which carries an automatic death sentence. A suspiciously tidy way to tie off the loose ends in the mercenaries' vague plans. Can Anita escape from Bennington's web of violence and deception or will the life of everyone she holds dear be sacrificed on the altar of one man's madness?
