Claire Smalls was born into a family gifted with magic. She never
developed her powers, much to the disgust of the rest of the members
of her family. Most of her time is spent looking for antiques to
resell or gathering herbs. Well, it was until her grandmother started
sending a shadow hound to attack people.
Her psychic gifts help Claire see when and where the shadow hound will
attack. Although she has no true magic, she feels it’s her
duty to confront the animal and save whomever she can.
To stop the slaughter she has to discover why her grandmother is
sending the beast on this rampage. So far all she can find is a male
servant to her grandmother who takes great pride in teasing Claire.
He is also at the heart of this madness and knows the secret behind
Claire’s lacking abilities. The information will cost her.
