Fans of the X-Files and Twin Peaks will love acclaimed master of contemporary fantasy Tanya Huff's twisted version of vampires, wizards, and TV terror. 
 
Tony Foster, fledgling wizard and now trainee assistant director on Darkest Night -- the syndicated vampire detective show -- is hoping that they only supernatural events he'll be caught up in are those in the script. 
 
But that isn't meant to be, for a demonic convergence is about to begin, creating weak spots through which lesser demons may enter the world. To complicate matters, Leah, the incredibly seductive stuntwoman who freelances for the show, is an immortal Demongate. Should Leah die, the Demongate will open and her sensual demon master will wreak havoc upon the unsuspecting human race.
 
Can Tony -- with the help of Leah, Henry, a tabloid reporter, a Mountie, and the cast of Darkest Night -- halt a demonic invasion and stave off the end of the world?
