As Martis begins asking questions, she discovers that while her sweet sister Arge may have had no secrets, many of the people around Martis certainly do. but if the murderer is not Saurus, then who is it? The Egyptian lady who frequents the docks, one of Martis's other sisters, her father, or someone entirely different? Martis is in a battle against time to save her sister's Shade from eternal unrest and uncover the killer before they strike again . . .
