Synopsis
Magic is Allison Beckstrom's blessing and curse. As a Hound, she uses her gifts to track down practitioners who abuse their power and stop them from inflicting harm on unsuspecting innocents. Unfortunately, her spells have taken their toll on her, physically marking her and erasing her memories—including those of the man she supposedly loves.
But lost memories aren't the only things preying on Allie’s thoughts. Her late father, the prominent businessman—and sorcerer—Daniel Beckstrom, has somehow channeled himself into her very mind. With the help of The Authority, a secret organization of magic users, she hopes to gain better control over her own abilities—and find a way to deal with her father…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The third book in this tremendous new urban fantasy series that has it all: a compelling heroine, terrific writing, and a dark, sexy magical world unlike any we've ever read before! 'Every time you used magic, it used you back. Sure you could magic yourself a photographic memory for that big test, for that big interview, for that big stock market job. And all it cost you was a nice case of liver failure. Or the memory of your lover's name.' Allison Beckstrom knows better than most that there's a price to be paid for using magic: she's suffered her fair share of migraines and holes in her memory during her time working as a Hound, tracing spells back to their casters. But now Allie's been visibly marked by it. On top of that, she can't remember much of the last few weeks of her life-including the man she supposedly fell in love with. But things are about to get worse. Allie's father, a prominent Portland businessman, has died recently, but he's not about to go gentle into that good night. He was a powerful sorcerer, and his spirit wants to trade magical knowledge in exchange for real estate-inside Allie's head. Her late father, the prominent businessman - and sorcerer - Daniel Beckstrom, has somehow channeled himself into her very mind. With the help of The Authority, a secret organization of magic users, she hopes to gain better control over her own abilities - and find a way to deal with her father.
