Mind Games

Darkness is spreading.

Even greater challenges are waiting for Jen after she escapes the demonic realm. She has little control over her own abilities, abilities that every test she has taken confirms she doesn't have. Agents from the NPIB are hounding at her heels, wanting to know her secrets. Vampires and werewolves are losing control of their hunger, attacking any who comes near. An old enemy, almost forgotten, returns with a grudge to settle with Jen.

At least Cylin is dead, her friends saw to that personally. Even after the death of his apprentice, Thaxter continues to exert his influence over Jen, an influence she is less and less inclined to resist.

The prisoners who had been held by the demons are in recovery, but their treatment isn't much better than what they received at the hands of their tormentors. Determined that her new friends had suffered enough, Jen takes it upon herself to make their situation better. Suffering herself, she refuses to face what she has been through without a fight.
