TO STOP ARMAGEDDON, AGENT VALLON DRAKE MUST OVERCOME HOMELAND SECURITY AND AN UNKOWN POWER THAT DEVOURS THE WORLD.

The American Geological Survey, a secret arm of Homeland Security, protects America from foreign terrorists and America's Gifted population-people who can reshape the landscape with their strange power. Agents of the AGS have always used their talent to preserve their country, but now Homeland Security plans their demise.

Mortally wounded Agent Vallon Drake and her allies make a desperate run for the Canadian border after their last disastrous confrontation. They hope to get help from the ancient Cartographers who have, so far, considered the Gifted far beneath their notice.

But dealing with the Cartographers reveals a personal history that Vallon never wanted to know. When the technology used to block the Gifted gives rise to a cataclysmic new power, Vallon must overcome her past and build alliances she never wanted in order to face a threat that will destroy not just the Gifted, but the entire world.

The AGS series brings a brave new magic into the world. If you like Harry Dresden's Chicago, you'll love the gritty adventures of Vallon Drake.
