Full Synopsis
With Odin controlling an army of Wraiths and corrupting magic itself, only Jayne can turn the tide by unlocking the secrets of the fabled Man'yoshu manuscripts and claiming the Spirits totem.

As adepts emerge across the globe and the battle lines are drawn, Jayne's sister Sofia and her Rogue partner Cillian race to train a new generation of young adepts at their hidden magical academy. But even as they prepare for the coming storm, Jayne's mother, Ruth, teeters on the edge of succumbing forever to her Wraith form, a chilling reminder of the high cost of failure.

Joined by her soulmate, Tristan Labelle, and his shapeshifting sister Vivian, Jayne must face formidable new foes to prove herself worthy of the Spirits totem. An ancient prophecy foretells that only the chosen CIA Librarian can wield this mystical object, bestowed by the elusive and demanding Japanese goddess Amaterasu herself, to cleanse the chaos Odin has unleashed.

Pushing her librarian skills—and her relationships—to the breaking point, Jayne must conquer a deadly gauntlet of riddles, rituals, and hidden reliquaries to retrieve the totem before her enemies claim it for their own nefarious ends.

Contains mature themes.
