  A homicide detective out of his element...
  Demons? Magic? Strange realms filled with mythical creatures? Connor Flynn had no doubt these things existed...in the pages of fictional books. As a homicide detective, he knew evil, witnessed it every day on the job. Even when a series of ritualistic murders begin appearing, he looks to the evidence, not the supernatural. Until the day he found a mysterious woman sitting right in the middle of his latest crime scene. While he searches for a rational explanation, all signs indicate she materialized out of thin air.
  A woman in a foreign land...
  Locked in battle with a fierce hellbeast one minute, then lying in a pool of blood the next, Sha Phoenix has no idea what happened. A Sorceri within the Mythrian Realm, magic is a way of life, as she manipulates the elements of fire and water. She understands banshees, blood mages, and dragons, not waking to find a sexy detective accusing her of murder. Trapped in the Human Realm, she can be sure of only one thing: the barrier that separates her world from Connor's is weakening by the minute.
  A world on the brink of destruction...
  Thrown together by fate, Sha and Connor must find a way to put a stop to a killer, bent on destroying the world as they know it.
  The Nexus is breaking, and all hell is about to unleash...literally.
