At the command of her master, she can be transformed against her will into his weapon--a raging monster summoned to do his bidding. Unlike other vessels, Sandis can host extremely powerful spirits, but hosting such creatures can be fatal. To stay alive, she must run. And in a city fueled by smoke and corruption, she finds a surprising ally. A cunning thief for hire, Rone owns a rare device that grants him immortality for one minute every day--a unique advantage that will come in handy in Sandis's fight for freedom. But Sandis's master knows how powerful she is. He's determined to get her back, and he has the manpower to find her, wherever she runs. Now, to outwit her pursuers, Sandis must put all her trust in Rone and his immortal device. For her master has summoned more than mere men to hunt her down..."--Jacket flap.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>A captivating world of monsters and magic from the <i>Wall Street Journal</i> bestselling author of The Paper Magician Series.</b></p><p>As a human vessel for an ancient spirit, Sandis lives no ordinary life.
