Description

Book 3 of the Elemental Magic series and Winner of the 2013 Best Indie Book Award in Fantasy

Nita Young doesn't know if she has a future with college sweetheart Keenan Donovan—two star-crossed lovers of opposing elements—but she invites him up to Alaska to see if Earth and Water can rekindle their old flame.

When a series of wild animal attacks strike the inhabitants of Yakutat, Nita has to put her romantic plans on hold. Mangled bodies are turning up, and a mysterious black panther has been spotted in the woods. Fur, scales, and a venomous bite suggest the cat is supernatural in origin—and evidence indicates that someone not only summoned it, but is using it to target those Nita cares about. It's the perfect murder weapon: no fingerprints, no evidence. And in a town this small, the killer is someone she knows.

Nita's strength will be put to the test as she faces losing her friends, her town, and the man she loves.
