They never should have moved to Murphy . . .
Cadi Shaw doesn’t take much from humans – an ampoule of urine, a few snips of hair, maybe a toenail or two. Nothing essential. Nothing life-threatening. A magical sigil half-blood, Cadi collects the ingredients for her brother Torvi’s healing spells while he sells remedies for arthritis and minor ailments in their store.
But not all sigils are harmless. Running afoul of three badly wounded Nychos, Cadi is forced to procure for them in exchange for her brother’s life. But they want a lot more than human hair to work the spells keeping them alive. They want her to kill . . . and Cadi has no choice.
