The djinn needs saving. Stuck in Mithras, captivity and torture are not Saleem's choice of time well spent. Nor are they Mel's either. Now the SoulTracker must do everything in her power to gather her team and extract Saleem. Only thing is, that damned window. Saleem's mysterious and strict time frame gives Mel and the team only a few days to join forces and prepare to cross the Veil into the realm of the djinn, but forces are at play, conspiring to block them at every turn. Mel's mission to help panther SkinWalker Kailin Odel turns out to be more than either of them had bargained for. Mel is shocked--yes, the pun is intended--at the truths that are revealed, many of which impact the saving of a certain djinn.
