Marlo finds a missing watcher and now it's up to Lucie and Owen to go undercover to pull her out, if she's even still alive. They find themselves thrown into the world of human trafficking and are afraid they won't make it out alive. Caged, drugged and confused, they lose sight of their mission. Then they must face the truth about darkness and light or is it all shades of gray? How will they save someone else if they can't even save themselves? Sometimes you have to do truly horrible things for the greater good but then what does that make you? What do you become if you are just as malicious as the dark watcher you are supposed to be saving everyone from? White Eagle says that power is power, but Owen has absorbed dark watcher gifts. He can feel himself morphing and he's pretty sure he's nowhere near good anymore. What will two damaged watchers do now? Are you still good if you've been consumed by darkness? Owen will have to figure that out before it's too late. He meets a mysterious stranger who has an interesting offer. Owen can't decide if it's worth the risk but it becomes more and more appealing as he is used again and again by both sides and now that he's actually killed someone, who will save him?
