Missy Masters - aka the legendary superhero Mr Mystic - owes a lot of people fav
ours after the events in The Dragons of Heaven. And these aren't easy favours to
pay back. So when one of the Argent Aces, Abby Trent, asks for her help in retr
ieving a Shadow Realms artefact, she figures this will help her pay down at leas
t one of her debts.
The problem: Abby is just as good at getting into trouble
as Missy, and before they can recover the artefact, it's stolen by Abby's arch-
nemesis (and half-sister), the djinni Asha. They follow Asha to the Divan of the
Djinn, a twilight court of Shadow Realms exiles and freedom fighters on the bor
der between Pakistan and India...and Missy and Abby are not welcome there. Missy
has to navigate the arcane network of enmities and raise her own status among t
he Shadow hierarchy to gain allies against Asha and her masters.
