It's been centuries since the last Great Other War that plunged the human race into the dark ages. Pulling away from the gods, and other creatures God had sent to watch over them, humans have made a go of it for themselves, trying to find their own path, and in the process they have changed the world from flat to round and created a universe to go with it. The gods, angels and demons are still there, but left behind, ignored, while the humans flourish. But the Others haven't forgotten the humans and a new war is stirring.....Lacey has always known she had to be careful. She's always been able to see the Others living in the city side by side with the humans for what they really are. It makes the city magic, like something out of a history lesson, but Lacey has a secret and the same magic that delights her also puts her in the greatest danger. If any of the Others begin to suspect of what she can do, life as she knows it will be over. Caution has been pounded into her head by her friends and she never travels without a protector, but caution isn't always enough. Secrets have a way of being found out, and once the cat is out of the bag, there's no getting it back in...
