Wenn die Welt in Flammen steht... Es fällt Nevada Baylor schwer, sich zu entscheiden: Ist es tatsächlich härter, ihre Talente als Wahrheitssucherin zu schärfen oder mit der frisch erblühten Beziehung zu Mad Rogan zu jonglieren? Harte Entscheidung! Denn bald schon wird Nevada eine wichtige Akteurin auf der magischen Bühne sein, während Rogan ihr dabei hilft, all die Gefahren zu umschiffen, die es mit sich bringt, ein eigenes Haus zu gründen. Doch all das ist ein Kinderspiel verglichen mit all den Gefühlen füreinander, die die beiden zu kontrollieren versuchen.

Dina Demille erholt sich gerade von der nervenaufreibenden Friedenskonferenz in ihrem magischen Gasthaus, als ein Hilferuf ihrer Schwester Maud sie erreicht. Zusammen mit Vampir Arland und Werwolf Sean jettet Dina in die düsterste Ecke des Universums, um Maud und deren kleine Vampir-Tochter Helen zu retten. Sie bringt die beiden auf der Erde in ihrer Pension in Sicherheit. Doch Dinas Pension wäre nicht Dinas Pension, wenn jetzt alles in ruhigen Bahnen verliefe. Es sieht so aus, als ob die alte Fehde zwischen Hirus und Draziris ausgerechnet vor ihrer Tür gelandet ist.

Wenn Vertrauen zur Feuerprobe wird. In einer Welt, in der Magie alles bedeutet - Reichtum, Macht und Ansehen. Eine Welt, in der Familiendynastien das Schicksal der Menschen bestimmen, Kriege führen und Politik beeinflussen. Seit dem Tod ihres Vaters ist Nevada Baylor die Hauptverdienerin in ihrer Familie. Als Privatdetektivin übernimmt sie jeden Fall, um alle über Wasser zu halten - sie lässt sich sogar auf einen Auftrag ein, der sie in Lebensgefahr bringt. Nevada soll einen mächtigen Feuermagier dingfest machen, als ihr Weg den von Connor "Mad" Rogan kreuzt.

Wie Feuer und Eis Ihre außergewöhnliche magische Fähigkeit - zu erkennen, wann jemand lügt - kommt Nevada Baylor in ihrem Job als Privatdetektivin gerade recht.

Aber in ihrem neuen Fall muss sich Nevada abermals gegen die finsteren Mächte stellen, die Houston bereits einmal zerstören wollten.

Dina Demilles eigenwillige Pension kann zwar Magisches vollbringen, aber sie könnte etwas besser laufen – ihr einziger zahlender Gast ist eine tyrannische Herrscherin aus dem All namens Caldenia, die weltweit gesucht wird. Doch dann steht eines Tages ein Schiedsmann vor Dinas Tür und sucht Räumlichkeiten für eine Friedenskonferenz mit magischen Teilnehmern. Das Überleben Tausender hängt vom Ergebnis der Konferenz ab, also überlegt Dina nicht lange und sagt zu.

Auf den ersten Blick scheint Dina Demille eine ganze normale Frau zu sein. Die Inhaberin eines malerischen viktorianischen Gasthauses in einer Kleinstadt in Texas besitzt einen Shih-Tzu namens Beast und ist die perfekte Nachbarin. Aber Dina ist ... anders: Ihr Besen ist eine tödliche Waffe und ihr Gasthof, der als Unterkunft für außerirdische Besucher konzipiert ist, ist magisch und kann denken.
